You can watch Stadium for free on WatchStadium.com, Twitter (@WatchStadium), and PlutoTV.  (You will also find Stadium on Sling TV replacing the Campus Insider Channel.) The network will air live and on-demand games and events, extensive highlights, classic games, original programming and daily live studio programming. Stadium will also be free over the air in some markets. (The over-the-air launch of the 24/7 network is slated for next month. Stadium says more details on the OTA availability will be announced shortly.)

“We stand alone in our ability and enthusiasm for taking the concept of a television style 24/7 network into a new digital marketplace and aligning our distribution with current fan behaviors and next generation platforms,” said Stadium CEO Jason Coyle.

Here is a sampling of what they will air this week:

“We’re excited to be a part of this innovative launch bringing Stadium’s 24/7 sports programming to Twitter,” said Anthony Noto, COO at Twitter. “Sports fans on Twitter will enjoy free access to Stadium’s mix of live sports, live original studio programs and on demand events and be able to join the real-time conversation around this premium content.”

On top of the several hundred live games found on the 24/7 live stream, WatchStadium.com also gives access to an additional 2,500+ college games, including exclusive football, men’s and women’s basketball, lacrosse, and volleyball events from conferences such as the Mountain West, West Coast Conference, Patriot League, Conference USA and Southern Conference, all available live and on-demand.

“Watching your favorite team at home with friends and family is probably the next best thing to watching it in person,” said Tom Ryan, CEO of Pluto TV. “We’re excited to bring all of Stadium’s live sporting events to Pluto TV viewers in high definition, streaming for free to connected TV devices nationwide.”

It was also announced that in the coming weeks, Stadium Plus programming will also be introduced. Stadium Plus includes over 500 exclusive live games, classic events, and commercial-free Stadium TV re-airs and VOD content for a monthly fee of $4.99.
