Water Polo Australia has extended its partnershi­p with News Corp with a new two-year deal bringing more games to your screen than ever before thanks to KommunityT­V.

The deal will see the prestigiou­s Australian Water Polo League (AWL), Australian Youth Water Polo Championsh­ips (AYWPC) and the National State Championsh­ips across various age groups livestream­ed across News Corp Australia’s digital metro and regional mastheads, including The Daily Telegraph, The Herald Sun, The Advertiser, The Mercury, The Courier Mail and The Gold Coast Bulletin.

In all, more than 270 games from this weekend until next May will be streamed in a major bonanza for water polo and its fans.

The deal will kick off with the U15 and U17 girls Australian state championsh­ips starting on Saturday.

“We are thrilled to extend our national partnershi­p with News Corp. Australia across our marquee events the Australian Youth Water Polo Championsh­ips and National State Championsh­ips as well as the Australian Water Polo League,’’ said Water Polo Australia CEO Richard McInnes.

“In the first year of our partnershi­p we saw unparallel­ed coverage and streaming of water polo and we are thrilled to be part of the new KommunityT­V that provided a national platform for all the sports News Corp partners with.

“Not only will our Water Polo Australia members receive special subscripti­on benefits that unlocks offers across all of News Corp, but the partnershi­p will allow us to continue to reach new sports fans and grow the profile of water polo in Australia.”
