Nighthawks, NECBL Announce Move To HomeTeam Network

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Upper Valley Nighthawks and New England Collegiate Baseball League have partnered with HomeTeam Network as the official streaming platform of the 2026 NECBL season.

“I’m super excited to begin the new chapter of NECBL+ with HomeTeam Network,” Nighthawks Director of Broadcasting Brendan Bowlin said.

HTN specializes in reducing the cost of streaming for sports teams and fans alike while maintaining excellent quality throughout the grind of a long season. They also assist teams in creating short-form content to further connect with fans and help athletes improve through reviewing their own game footage.

In addition to airing games across a wide variety of sports, from youth to professional levels, HTN already produces several other summer collegiate & amateur baseball leagues on their platform, with NECBL teams becoming the latest member of the HTN family.

 “I truly feel this partnership will benefit not only us, but the league as a whole in enhancing the fan experience for those who can’t be in person to watch the games,” Bowlin said. “In my meetings with the HomeTeam staff, I truly feel they are the perfect fit for our mission of providing the most quality broadcasts that are both watchable and entertaining!”

As part of the partnership, Upper Valley’s Opening Day contest against the Sanford Mainers on June 4 at 6:30 p.m. will be free to stream for all fans on the HTN website. 

NECBL+ offers three different packages to allow flexibility for viewers. Subscribers can choose from daily ($9.99/day), weekly ($24.99/week) and annual ($124.99/year) packages. Each package allows viewers full access to all games on NECBL+, including all non-ESPN+ Nighthawks games this summer, and gives fans a way to follow their favorite team away from the ballpark.

The Nighthawks are proud to be joining the HomeTeam family this season.
