New Jersey – April 17, 2023 – Kiswe, the interactive video company, today announced a partnership with Orlando City SC (MLS) to livestream exciting new pre-game show content for the remainder of their 2023 season. The partnership extends Orlando City SC’s digital presence, following the MLS’s major partnership with Apple TV.
Fans can now stream Kickoff -60, the new pregame shows via the Club’s exclusive LionNation app. The shows will air at 6:30 PM ET before every game. Thanks to Kiswe’s high quality, cloud-based production services, announcers can drop in on the field, in the locker room, or in studio—using nothing more than WiFi and a laptop.
Kiswe’s cloud-based live production platform, is well-established in the industry and powers live alternative sports broadcasts such as the NBA’s HooperVision, the LA Clippers’ ClipperVision and BetCast as well as local language presentations of games for International League Pass. WNBA, G-League, and NBA-2K all work with Kiswe to bring live stream experiences to fans.
“Our Club is always looking for the best way to leverage new technologies and experiences to bring our fans even closer to the team and to match day,” said Pedro Araujo, Orlando City’s Chief Marketing Officer. “Through Kiswe’s platform, we are going to be creating a new opportunity to introduce live, immersive pregame content and are very excited for fans to experience our new Kickoff -60 show.”
“Kiswe is helping the sports industry redefine the viewing experience to engage viewers in new ways that appeal to their interests,” says Glenn Booth, CEO of Kiswe. “We are excited to be part of bringing the Orlando City pre-game shows to fans.”
