Pro Volleyball Federation is the leading professional volleyball league in the United States, championing the highest standards of women’s volleyball and driving the growth of the sport. After launching in 2024 with record-breaking attendance numbers, broadcast coverage with CBS Sports Network, and YouTube viewing figures surpassing 3.9 million, PVF’s expanded and extended 2025 season opened on January 9, bringing live coverage from San Diego Mojo’s clash with the Orlando Valkyries to FS2 audiences.
PVF has expanded its broadcast coverage by 350% this season from a year ago, deploying a new portfolio of LTN’s live video production, real-time customization and intelligent IP distribution services to deliver all 45 linear broadcast matches and 70 live digital events — powering high-quality experiences across subscription-based and ad-supported viewing models with greater scale, efficiency, and monetization potential.
