We are three days away from the 2024 USA Ultimate Division I College Championships! 40 worthy teams arrive at the season’s final weekend ready to crown a national champion.
We’ve got you covered for all the exciting action this weekend. Follow along on the D-I College Championships Event Page for livestreams and updates throughout the weekend.
More D-I College Championships Coverage Than Ever Before
We are broadcasting more games than ever before at this year’s D-I College Championships! Back this year is Field Pass at College Nationals, an NFL Red Zone inspired multi-game stream that lets the viewer watch up to four games at once, replicating the on-site experience of jumping from one exciting game to another. All-Access Subscribers and Event Pack purchasers will also get access to each of the four Field Pass individual game streams, presented with natural sound and no commentary, along with an additional All-Access game each round covered with our new AI-driven camera system that we are testing for the first time.
And that’s all on top of the showcase field streamed game each round! And, for the first time ever, Ultiworld will be bringing you coverage from each of the four semifinals on Sunday from Breese Stevens Field in Madison, Wisconsin.
All in all, Ultiworld will be broadcasting 72 total games from pool play (54 games), prequarters (6 games), quarterfinals (all 8 games), and semifinals (all 4 games) before coverage transitions over to ESPNU for the finals. Every single team at the tournament will be streamed at least once. All games will be available on-demand for viewing immediately following the live broadcasts.

Are There Any Free Games to Watch?
Yes! We will be airing three broadcasts on the Ultiworld YouTube channel.
On Friday, May 24th, tune in for Brown Brownian Motion vs. UNC Darkside on the showcase field at 10:00 AM Central time.1
On Saturday, May 25th, tune in at 8:00 AM CT for Carleton Syzygy vs. Stanford Superfly on the showcase field and at 10:15 AM CT for the Field Pass broadcast featuring North Carolina Pleiades, Oregon Fugue, Georgia Jojah, Oregon Ego, Vermont Ruckus, and Colorado Quandry.
Full Broadcast Schedule
NOTE: Due to extensive lightning delays on Day 1, only two rounds were played and the tournament schedule for Day 2 was heavily revised. Unfortunately, we had to significantly change our streaming schedule in response and we will be losing one planned game of streaming each round. The Day 2 graphics below reflect the revised schedule. All future schedules for Sunday and Monday should be considered tentative until the conclusion of pool play.
^ Due to early results on Day 2, we have flexed Massachusetts vs. Minnesota (Men’s) into the showcase game, added Colorado vs. Vermont (Men’s) to Field Pass, and removed Carleton vs. Georgia (Men’s) from the streaming schedule. During pool play, our goal is to provide a slate of compelling games with bracket implications balanced with opportunities for as many teams to make a streaming appearance as possible.
Previously free before the schedule update: the 12:30 PM Friday Field Pass broadcast featuring Georgia Jojah v. Oregon Ego, Carleton CUT v. NC State Alpha, Michigan Flywheel v. Western Washington Chaos, and Vermont Chill v. Penn State Spank; the 3 PM Showcase broadcast featuring Carleton Syzygy v. Washington Element. ↩
