The Stars' relationship with Victory+ remains "status quo," according to the team's director of communications.

The update comes after the Rangers and Ducks made plans to leave the direct-to-consumer streaming platform in the past 24 hours.

Appears to be the new normal…basically 25% to 30% of their former deal. 🏀

The Rangers have abandoned Victory+ effective immediately and will begin streaming games on the new DTC service BZZR starting Friday.

The in-season move reflects the financial challenges inside Victory+, which has had three recent negotiations with NBA teams fall apart.

The Texas Rangers leaving Victory+ is something to pay attention to in local game space

Chatter for months now about that platform’s future, and that has delayed several NBA and NHL teams (like the Hornets) from announcing deals for 2026-27

Local OTA options picking up steam

Spain has beaten every team they’ve seen in this tournament

Except one

🚨FACT: Cape Verde are the only team Spain faced at the 2026 World Cup that they DIDN’T beat

Any league, whether it be a Division 3 conference or a international hockey tournament, is shooting itself in the foot by agreeing to a deal with FloSports.

@StoolGreenie Gonzalez will also need to be paid. The number for Tatum will be a chunk.

@GlennDOrdway you don't want a disgruntled star on your team. I would suspect Philly will give him the supermax extension. That's for the Sixers to figure out.
