News Corp & Hockey NSW Team Up To Live Stream State Championships

Hockey NSW and News Corp have announced an exciting new media deal that will see more hockey on screens and in papers than ever before.

The agreement will see Hockey NSW’s 2021 Steggles Under 18 and Under 15 Junior State Championships broadcast exclusively to News Corp subscribers via the Daily Telegraph website and local NSW mastheads.

As part of the agreement, action from the main pitch at Lismore, Wollongong, Armidale and Lithgow will be live-streamed across the entire three days of each tournament.

This will be the first time that the HNSW State Championships have been live-streamed, and is a big win for our members across the State who will be able to tune in and watch their local Associations from the comfort of their own homes.

Hockey NSW is currently working with News Corp to secure further coverage of our remaining State Championships during 2021.

“This is a fantastic partnership for Hockey NSW and the wider hockey community in NSW,” said Hockey NSW CEO David Thompson.

“The coverage and streaming that News Corp are providing will increase the profile and visibility of our sport around the State and provide better access to the action for family, friends and fans.”

“We’re looking forward to working with them and expanding on the other great media partnerships we’ve established this year such as the Sports Entertainment Network (SEN).”

Details of the agreement include:

• Exclusive livestream of our Steggles Under 18 & Under 15 State Championships during May & June.
• Games will be accessed across The Daily Telegraph & local NSW mastheads.
• A paid subscription is required to view games. Pricing changes through the year but the current joining rate is $1 for the first 28 days.
• News Corp will publish preview stories & a daily round-up of matches including exclusive replays.
• Subscribers will be able to access the Hockey content from other states in addition to the news content.
• Subscribers get access to news.com.au content including: SuperCoach, +Rewards system, the digital editions (print replicas) of News Corp papers (excluding The Australian), online puzzles & every news story.
