beIN SPORTS and NISA with new partnership

beIN SPORTS and the National Independent Soccer Association (NISA) announce a new partnership to air the 2020 Fall Championship Tournament from September 21 through October 2. 

The announcement marks the first-ever broadcast partnership for NISA and adds another important league to beIN SPORTS’ world-class sports programming lineup. Games will be aired in the U.S. and Canada on beIN SPORTS XTRA – the network’s free, 24/7 English-language live sports channel.

“This major broadcast partnership is big news for the fans of NISA soccer and for our growth as a league,” says NISA Commissioner John Prutch. “beIN SPORTS is an iconic brand, and we’re fortunate that they share the same vision in NISA’s future as our Board of Governors. I want to thank everyone that’s been involved at NISA, as well as the team at beIN SPORTS for making this happen.”

The tournament schedule offers double-headers on consecutive days with matches set for 5pm EST and 8pm EST, leading up to the championship match on October 2. The Fall Champion will host next year’s Spring Champion for the 2020-21 League Championship.

“We are thrilled to offer this latest soccer league to our fan base and help grow the world’s most popular sport in the U.S. NISA is packed with exciting local rivalries that now can reach the thousands of soccer fans watching beIN SPORTS XTRA from the comfort of their home,” said Antonio Briceño, beIN SPORTS managing director for North America.
