Major League Volleyball (MLV) is partnering with LTN to power live video production and distribution for its broadcast schedule in 2026.
With a record 50-match broadcast slate across major national networks, streaming services and local stations, the collaboration enables continued audience growth for MLV, providing fans with wider access to their favourite teams and high-quality live experiences on multiple viewing platforms.
After the landmark unification of MLV and Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) in 2025, MLV is continuing to elevate professional women’s volleyball.
As an evolution of PVF, its 2026 campaign will be recorded as the league’s third season following a high-growth year where broadcast coverage grew 350%.
LTN will again serve as MLV’s live production and distribution partner, powering the largest media rollout in its league history through a suite of on-site and remote production, live event customisation and intelligent video transport services.
Rob Carolla, VP-Public & Media Relations, MLV, said, "We’re kicking off a milestone season for MLV with new energy, closer fan connection and our widest broadcast coverage to date.
“LTN has been a vital part of our growth journey, advancing our production quality, working across any venue and enabling new graphics and viewing features to enhance the fan experience — all while simplifying customisation and distribution for multiple rights partners.”
MLV will harness a comprehensive range of LTN production and transport services, leveraging a multi-camera setup and ultra-reliable remote transmission technologies while enabling fully centralised production from LTN’s state-of-the-art Kansas City technical operations centre (TOC).
“We’re seeing huge growth in a new generation of dynamic, innovation-first sports leagues,” said Bryan McGuirk, Chief Revenue Officer at LTN. “With rights models evolving and demand for live events surging, MLV is a standout example of how sports organisations can harness agile production models and purpose-built IP distribution to enhance reach and monetisation.”
MLV is leveraging innovative technologies, supported by LTN’s flexible video infrastructure and production expertise, to elevate fan engagement and enhance the depth of data for viewers. Its latest advances include an enhanced tracking system that delivers real-time ball tracking, improving officiating accuracy and powering advanced performance analytics.
