This year, the platform streamed not only the 2024 IRA National Championship regatta, but also all IRA sponsored events, including Men’s and Women’s Sprints and the National Invitational Rowing Championships.
Overnght charges $9.99 per month or $95 per year to view any of its live video streams of rowing, water polo, gymnastics, swimming, and other sports. This approach is a new one in rowing which has been accustomed to free live streams for major events such as the NCAA Championship and Henley Royal Regatta.
“The IRA is thrilled to continue our partnership with Overnght,” said IRA Commissioner Gary Caldwell. “Their dedication to delivering outstanding content and enhancing the viewer experience aligns perfectly with our mission to promote collegiate rowing. Our extended partnership is a testament to the success we’ve achieved together and our commitment to furthering the sport.”
