League One Volleyball

We're proud to announce our partnership with Onrise to provide comprehensive mental health care to our LOVB players and coaches. "Since our inception, LOVB has sought to reimagine the future of volleyball by creating an athlete-centered league that champions players at every stage of their journey - and their mental health is central to that mission,” said head of LOVB Pro Health and Wellness Katherine Henry. “We believe providing best-in-class level of benefits and athlete support defines how a modern league should operate, so we are proud to partner with Onrise to help deliver on that promise.” Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/g65iqtV5

We’re excited to share that League One Volleyball is coming to ESPN! ESPN has secured media rights to present League One Volleyball pro matches across its linear networks and digital platforms, including ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU and ESPN+, both in the US and around the world. In addition to airing and streaming LOVB pro matches, ESPN will also highlight LOVB athletes through storytelling during its extensive coverage of the fall NCAA volleyball season, leading right into our inaugural pro season. LOVB has set out on an ambitious path to develop volleyball into the next major American sports league, and we could not think of a better media company to have in this journey than ESPN.
