A Landmark Media Partnership for U.S. Professional Development Basketball
The National Basketball League–United States (NBL-US) and the Women’s National Basketball League–United States (WNBL-US) are proud to announce a multi-year broadcast partnership with New Era Sports TV, a new sports network created in association with StrimmTV. The agreement begins with the 2025–2026 season and will bring unprecedented visibility and accessibility to the league’s men’s and women’s programs.
This milestone partnership will give basketball fans across the United States and abroad an opportunity to watch live games, original programming, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content featuring NBL-US and WNBL-US athletes.
First Broadcast Set for December 6, 2025
The inaugural broadcast under the partnership will take place on December 6, 2025, when the defending NBL-US champions, the Gueydan Flying Ducks, face off against the Cypress Venom in a high-energy matchup. The game will be streamed exclusively on New Era Sports TV in collaboration with StrimmTV’s global streaming platform.
Lillian Countee, Commissioner of the NBL-US, expressed her enthusiasm about the new partnership:
“This is a groundbreaking moment for the NBL-US and WNBL-US. Our mission has always been to provide exposure, opportunity, and development for athletes, and now with New Era Sports TV and StrimmTV, we are able to amplify that mission on a global scale. Fans everywhere will now be able to follow our athletes’ journeys, experience the excitement of our games, and truly understand what makes this league special. We are building a platform for today’s talent and tomorrow’s stars.”
Kevin Williams Sr., Founder of New Era Sports TV, also shared his vision:
“When we created New Era Sports TV, we wanted to build more than just a channel — we wanted to create a home for athletes who deserve recognition and fans who deserve access. Partnering with the NBL-US and WNBL-US is the perfect embodiment of that vision. Together, we are creating stories, moments, and opportunities that will change lives. With the support of StrimmTV, we will bring pro development basketball into homes, schools, and communities across the world.”
