May 19, 2026 by Charlie Eisenhood in News, Video
We are three days away from the 2026 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 our D-I College Championships Event Page for livestreams and updates throughout the weekend.
Expansive Video Coverage + Field Pass + Inside Out!
It’s never been easier to take in the action from the College Championships! Along with a showcase game every round, we are bringing back Field Pass, 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 get access to each of the four Field Pass individual game streams, presented with natural sound and no commentary.
And that’s all on top of the showcase field streamed game each round! And, for the second year in a row, Ultiworld will be bringing you coverage from each of the four semifinals on Sunday in the stadium.
All in all, Ultiworld will be broadcasting full coverage of 62 total games across pool play (45 games), prequarters (5 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.
And, once again, tune in to live pre- and post-round coverage throughout pool play and prequarters in our Field Pass studio show, Inside Out, hosted by Edward Stephens and Anna Thorn! Watch highlights, hear from players and surprise guests, and don’t miss a thing!
