Official Western Canadian Baseball League News Release

REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN — The Western Canadian Baseball League (WCBL) will be streaming all of our games this season, allowing viewers to enjoy high-quality broadcasts on their televisions, computers and mobile devices.

The WCBL has added HomeTeam Live as the league’s exclusive streaming partner.

HomeTeam and the WCBL are excited to announce that the HomeTeam Live App will carry all 308 regular season games – as well as the postseason – of the collegiate summer baseball league in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Beginning with Opening Day on May 26, all games will be streamed exclusively on HomeTeam Live.

The WCBL broadcasts will include play-by-play commentary, video content, score graphics and more. The games will be available to fans worldwide. Each game is available live and on demand, and fans can watch from their smart phones, tablets, laptops, TVs or other mobile devices.

“The WCBL is thrilled to announce this partnership with HomeTeam Live and raise the level of access to the premiere summer collegiate league in Canada to fans everywhere,” said WCBL president Kevin Kvame.

“Both existing and new fans of the WCBL will be provided with a top online experience to virtually every WCBL game in the 2022 season that will allow them to follow teams, both at home and on the road, on one dedicated platform designed to optimize the fan experience. We are excited to expand our fanbase through this new initiative and showcase our eleven communities which operate WCBL franchises.”

Tanner Goetz, the chief executive officer of HomeTeam Live, is also enthusiastic about the alliance with the WCBL.

“We couldn’t be more excited about partnering with the WCBL, a league in our own backyard in the Prairies. Since our launch last summer, HomeTeam Live has added several new leagues, plus significant app features that make the viewing experience unmatched,” said Goetz.

“Now baseball fans that subscribe to this live-streaming service will be supporting WCBL clubs, as this additional revenue stream will assist in the sustainability of baseball in Western Canada. Let’s play ball!”

To subscribe to watch all of the games, users can sign up on app.hometeamlive.com.

Users will be able to subscribe to the WCBL for $69.99/month, or $179.99/season for access to all games played at participating parks throughout the year.
