Abstract

The article discusses the Big East Conference's new six-year digital media rights agreement with ESPN, which will see the conference return to ESPN+ starting in the 2025–26 athletic season. This deal will provide streaming for over 300 events annually, including women's basketball, men's basketball, and various Olympic sports, enhancing visibility and access for fans. While ESPN+ will cover a significant portion of Big East events, traditional broadcast rights for certain games remain with Fox, NBC, and TNT. The agreement is expected to generate increased revenue compared to the previous deal with FloSports, benefiting from a larger subscriber base and improved streaming infrastructure.
