The first time ESPN partnered with CrossFit was back in 2011 when ESPN3 live streamed the Games from the StubHub Center in Carson, California. The partnership with the biggest sports network continued through 2016, but moved to CBS in 2017. This year the 2023 NOBULL CrossFit Games returns to the ESPN platform.
Between ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN+, live coverage of the Games and studio-style shows will aired and live streamed from Thursday through Sunday.
“We are thrilled to be back on the preeminent platform for sports as CrossFit’s top athletes showcase their fitness on the very highest stage,” said Don Faul, CEO of CrossFit. “This relationship with ESPN will help introduce CrossFit to millions of people, welcoming them into the most supportive and hard-working community on a shared journey to long-term health and fitness.”
CrossFit will continue to live stream the events on games.crossfit.com, YouTube, Facebook and Twitch. However, one segment a day will be exclusively streamed only to ESPN+ for those in the United States. International viewers will be able to continue the live stream on the non-ESPN platforms.
Here are the times you will need ESPN+ to watch the competition…
Thursday: 3:15 pm – 4:50 pm
Friday: 6:15 pm – 8:50 pm
Saturday: 4:00 pm – 5:55 pm
Sunday: 4:25 pm – 5:45 pm
*All times Central Time
Outside of these windows you will be able to watch on the Games site, Youtube, Facebook and Twitch.
Of course, make sure to tune into our YouTube channel for our Morning Show each day beginning at 8am Central Time to preview the day’s competition. Then after each individual event we are back on YouTube to recap the event and look ahead at the rest of the day.
