VEGAS (November 18, 2024) – The Vegas Golden Knights and ViewLift today announced enhancements to the team’s official streaming service, KnightTime+, which is in its second season of delivering all locally broadcast games to viewers throughout the Golden Knights’ television territory. Wednesday’s Golden Knights game at Toronto will be available on the platform for free with registration for all users to experience these upgrades, with the pregame show beginning at 4 p.m. PT.
The improvements include technical upgrades and additional content, highlighted by:
- A fully enhanced digital platform and revamped user interface
- Easier and faster sign-in options
- Backend technical upgrades for improved stream reliability
- Live Spanish-language play-by-play and analysis for all home games
- Integration of in-game betting with Circa Sports announced last month
- Improved vertical navigation on connected TVs
- Increased distribution to include Vizio Smart TVs
- Addition of links to tickets and information on national broadcast availability
“We were thrilled to provide our fans with direct access to our broadcasts last season and wanted to build on the momentum of that successful launch,” said Vegas Golden Knights President and CEO Kerry Bubolz. “With these enhancements, our fans are enjoying an even better user experience and the ability to watch games on mobile devices and home screens within our broadcast territory.”
KnightTime+ was developed by ViewLift in alliance with the Golden Knights and Scripps Sports, launching in September 2023.
“The Vegas Golden Knights have been innovators since the franchise launched,” noted ViewLift CEO Rick Allen, “so it was no surprise that they became one of the very first NHL clubs to offer their games streamed directly to consumers. For this season, KnightTime+ reflects features fans requested, reaches more devices, and integrates in-game betting. And with KnightTime+ an early leader in the streaming revolution, subscribers can look forward to more enhancements to come.”
KnightTime+ is available online at knighttimeplus.com, and on the App Store, Apple TV, Google Play, Roku, fire tv and Vizio Smart TVs. Fans can subscribe for just $69.99 for the season at knighttimeplus.com.
Scripps Sports broadcasts 69 regular-season games and the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, should Vegas qualify. Broadcasts are available on Scripps Sports stations and KnightTime+ throughout Nevada, Arizona, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and in certain counties in California and Nebraska.
