Disc Golf Network Unveils Ambitious Live Coverage Plan for 2023 Season

This year, the Disc Golf Network (DGN) is poised to revolutionize the way fans experience live disc golf coverage. As part of its comprehensive plan for the 2023 season, DGN has announced a significant increase in live content delivery to subscribers. One of the key highlights of this expansion is the addition of select PDGA Euro Tour events and expanded coverage of DGPT Silver events, both of which will be available exclusively on DGN.

Subscribers can look forward to complete tournament coverage of these events, featuring interviews, analysis, and highlights that will provide an unparalleled level of depth and quality. Furthermore, DGN has introduced a new pre-round, half-time, and post-round show called Tournament Central, which will add at least an hour and forty-five minutes of live content each day to the standard broadcasts.

According to Mahmoud Bahrani, DGPT Media Director, "Tournament Central is the next step forward in the evolution of our live product, and it will make it easier than ever for fans to immerse themselves in the constantly evolving storylines on the Disc Golf Pro Tour." The show will feature a unique blend of interviews, highlights, and analysis that will give fans a more comprehensive understanding of each tournament.

The DGN's 2023 live broadcast calendar is packed with over thirty-five events, including nine in Europe. This represents a significant increase from previous seasons and demonstrates the network's commitment to delivering high-quality live coverage to its subscribers. In total, fans can expect to see over 240 rounds of live competition between the MPO and FPO divisions, with full-day coverage thanks to Tournament Central.

In addition to these new features, DGN has also announced plans for three planned featured hole broadcasts, including the World Championships, USDGC, and MVP Open. This will add up to a staggering 1,400 hours of live content streamed to fans throughout the season.

"We're proud to offer a comprehensive package of live professional disc golf coverage this season," said Jeff Spring, DGPT & Disc Golf Network CEO. "Thanks to our team's hard work, we're set to deliver the largest live broadcast slate since DGN's inception in 2020." The increased hours of content will not only provide fans with more opportunities to watch their favorite players but also allow them to follow the storylines and developments throughout each tournament.

The DGN subscription model remains unchanged for 2023, with subscribers able to access all rounds of Elite, Elite+, and Playoff events, plus PDGA Pro Majors, as part of their package. However, there will be some changes in how free coverage is distributed on the DGPT YouTube channel. While individual rounds will still be available for free, the focus will shift from final-round coverage to first-round coverage.

Disc golf fans will continue to have flexibility in terms of how they consume disc golf content. DGN will continue to make individual tournaments and rounds available for purchase, with prices starting at $5.99 per round and $10.99 per tournament. A DGN subscription will remain at $12.99 per month or $129.99 annually.

As a special benefit for PDGA members, they will receive complimentary access to select live coverage this season, including the Las Vegas Challenge, the PDGA Champions Cup, the U.S. Women's Disc Golf Championship, and more. Additionally, PDGA members can take advantage of a discounted subscription rate of $6.50 per month.

The 2023 season is set to kick off on February 17-19 with the All-Star event, followed by the regular season starting on February 23-26 with the Las Vegas Challenge. Fans can subscribe to DGN and access its comprehensive package of live professional disc golf coverage at discgolfnetwork.com.
