LINCOLN, NE – The Great Midwest Athletic Conference has entered into a three-year exclusive partnership with Hudl to be its home for livestreaming. Through this partnership, the 14 G-MAC institutions will stream all of their games exclusively on Hudl TV. 

"As the Great Midwest Digital Network enters its seventh-year, it is poised to take great strides in this exciting new partnership with Hudl,” said Tom Daeger, Commissioner of the Great Midwest. “Our network is a tremendous asset and we are thankful for Hudl's engagement to allow us to continue to grow the network for the benefit of our membership, student-athletes, and their many supporters over the coming years."

"It has been a pleasure to work with the Hudl team while building this new era of the Great Midwest Digital Network,” added Katie Gilhooly, Director of Digital Media & Communications for the Great Midwest. “The Great Midwest strives to continue with a digital-first approach, and we are excited to partner with Hudl to continue those efforts. We look forward to showing off the network's new look to G-MAC fans everywhere during the 2023-24 season." 

As a part of the partnership, Hudl TV will be the destination for all Great Midwest athletic events across the conference's 26 sports including all football, men's and women's basketball and volleyball games played at member institutions. Certain games played at G-MAC home stadiums will be automatically captured with AI-powered Hudl Focus cameras and uploaded to the Focus Exchange Network. Film of certain inter-conference games will be automatically streamed for family and fans to watch.

“We’re excited that G-MAC has chosen Hudl TV as their destination for their teams’ matches,” said Ben Kant, Head of Streaming at Hudl. “Our mission is to give every athlete the shot they deserve. This is our 16th conference wide partnership at the Division II level, which is a key step forward for conferences across the country. With the addition of the G-MAC, we are the destination to watch and celebrate athletic achievement across DII.”

You can catch all G-MAC home games completely free on Hudl TV starting this fall.
