Live stream section

I would like to suggest that this board create a dedicated livestream topic, where we can see ANY water polo game that happens to be being live streamed. A one stop topic for live streaming would make it so easy to enjoy various games being played at all levels without having to hunt around to different board topics hoping to get lucky and finding a live link….

For college games, the best source of links is the "Schedule" section of the team's web page. But FWIW, tomorrow, three of the Big Four games are livestreamed, although the Stanford game's on ESPN+ so isn't free:

Stanford/UC Davis, 1 p.m. - https://www.espn.com/watch/
UCLA/Pepperdine, 1 p.m. - https://wccsports.com/watch/?sid=488517
USC/UCI, Noon - https://pac-12.com/live/usc-3

Thank you for the links, but you confirmed the problem. To find these links, someone would have to go to each team’s Schedule” section and look for that teams links. Not good or easy. We need a simple one-stop place to see all current games being played that day, just like you gave me in response to this post….
This approach would vastly improve viewership potential for our sport…
Please, someone?

It's been much much worse... After 6-7 years of watching WP on TV, this appears to be the first year ESPN+ has finally given NCAA WP a permanent icon link...



That said, Princeton still leads the Ivy League for broadcast failures and dead-air. [Princeton is also the sole Ivy school to broadcast only their own games at home tournaments. Classy.]

When I go on my jailbroken Firestick under “Sports”, I can find a heading for “Cricket”, “Ladies Football League”, and “Moto-GP”, but no heading for water polo. One easy way we could improve the reach of our sport would be to get in the media game of live streaming more events, making those streams easier to access through sites like this, and getting the Firestick scrapers to include a heading for water polo to access those livestreams. Our sport is still in the media dark ages and there is no excuse for that…..
