Following its debut showcase this past April, Rock League returns to ESPN+ on the ESPN App in January of 2027
“This agreement with ESPN represents a major milestone in our continued commitment to growing curling in the United States and around the world,” said Nic Sulsky, Co-Founder and CEO of The Curling Group
“By bringing both the Grand Slam of Curling and Rock League to ESPN, we ensure these incredible performances are available to a broader audience.”
The announcement follows last week’s confirmation of Sportsnet and CBC as Canadian linear and streaming broadcast partners
