SEC Network will launch in August.

ESPN and DISH Network have reached an agreement for nationwide coverage of the SEC Network when the network launches, August 14, 2014.  DISH is the SEC Network’s first nationwide television provider as the upstart network looks for distribution.  The channel will be available to Mizzou fans  in DISH’s America’s Top 120+ and higher packages. DISH subscribers will also have authenticated access to additional live events scheduled for the SEC Network’s digital platform, with the ability to watch SEC Network content anytime, anywhere on their television, computer, tablet or mobile device.

The SEC Network and its accompanying digital platform will air more than 1,000 live events in its first year, including at least 45 exclusive SEC football games, more than 100 men’s basketball games, 60 women’s basketball games, 75 baseball games, 50 softball games and events across all of the SEC’s 21-sports. The network will be an all-access pass to nationally competitive events, news and information, expert analysis, classic games and in-depth features on the most storied conference in college athletics.
SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said, “This is an important day for the SEC Network.  We are pleased to welcome DISH to the SEC family.  More than five months ahead of the network launch, it’s exciting to have a national distributor and our first satellite provider onboard.  Now SEC fans from across the country have another way to show their conference pride and sign up to get the SEC Network.”
