ESPN is set to provide expanded U.S. coverage for the Grand Slam of Curling and the Rock League under a new media deal, according to reports from multiple outlets. The arrangement brings both competitions to a broader audience in the United States.
Details across sources describe a significant increase in availability, with Yahoo Sports stating that more than 300 hours of live streaming coverage are planned for the upcoming curling season. The Calgary Herald frames the agreement as a way to ensure performances reach more viewers, without providing additional scheduling specifics.
While both outlets agree on the core point—that ESPN will broadcast or stream the events and expand access—the emphasis differs. Yahoo Sports highlights the scale of the coverage in hours, whereas the Calgary Herald focuses on the audience-expansion rationale behind the move.
