Vyre Network and WNFC Finalize Historic 7 Figure Multi-year Exclusive Media Rights Deal

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The Women's National Football Conference (WNFC) has finalized its new 5-year media rights agreement with a pact that will run through 2026, and is worth over $1.5 million.

The league announced on Thursday that it's renewing streaming rights with Vyre Network as an exclusive partner for its regular-season home games, adding exclusivity for streaming playoffs and the IX Cup championship game. It's the first time a streaming service will carry a full package of professional women's tackle football games exclusively.

Vyre's deal runs 5 years and begins in 2022. The WNFC declined to comment on the total amount of the agreement, but shared that the funding will go directly towards creating professional streaming broadcasts, marketing, and highlights for every WNFC team.

WNFC TV will become an official channel on Vyre Network, under the Vyre Sports umbrella, broadcasting games, player highlight shows, and more. With this deal, WNFC TV will also allocate thousands in cash awards directly to players (WNFC TV Impact Players of the Game) in every WNFC regular-season game.

"This is a huge step in the right direction for not only women, but the sport of football, television, and equality as a whole. Soon, the pipeline from youth football to college, to a professional tackle career will be a clear path for women as it is for men" - Vyre Network CEO Lamar Seay

The WNFC's IX Cup weekend in August attracted 3,000 live attendees and was available to over 20 million global households.
