More than 100 live games will be broadcast throughout 2026.

In its ongoing digital transformation to reach new audiences, the United States Polo Association (USPA) has announced the launch of a new digital streaming platform. This dedicated channel will serve association members and polo fans globally, providing access to the USPA Polo Network's live coverage, archived games, and exclusive video content.

The platform, continuing as the USPA Polo Network, will roll out in December. A free preview will debut during the U.S. Open Arena Polo Championship and United States Arena Handicap. The paid subscription service will officially launch on Sunday, December 28, 2025.

Active USPA members (Lifetime, Registered Player, Affiliate Player) will receive free access to a core schedule of approximately 45 games. For full access, members can upgrade to a premium subscription for $50. This includes all core games plus every Gauntlet of Polo preliminary match, all U.S. Open Women’s Polo Championship preliminary games, and additional live coverage. Non-Competing Members and non-members can purchase an annual subscription for $150 to watch approximately 100 live games. The network will also offer pay-per-view options for select top-tier tournaments.

This initiative reflects the USPA’s enhanced media strategy, aligning with major sports organizations. The new platform introduces a modern streaming and pay-per-view model, laying the groundwork for flexible subscriptions, new partnerships, and future digital integration. These efforts aim to increase the sport's visibility, reach new audiences, and attract sponsors.

Developed by New York-based digital video leader B Live, the platform will be accessible at watch.uspolo.org, with a strong focus on ensuring a seamless user experience.
