We’re proud to announce a new, multi-year partnership with Touch New Zealand, bringing the fast-paced action of one of New Zealand’s most dynamic sports to more fans than ever before.

Through this collaboration, Sportway’s AI-powered broadcast technology will capture every pass, dive, and try from Touch NZ’s national tournaments - delivering live and on-demand coverage that connects players, family, and fans wherever they are.

Kicking off this summer with coverage from key national events, the partnership marks a major step forward in Sportway’s mission to grow the game and enhance the viewing experience for the entire touch community.

Michael Craig, CEO of Sportway NZ, shared his excitement about the partnership, stating: “We’re thrilled to team up with Touch New Zealand to spotlight the incredible talent, athleticism, and community spirit that define the sport. Our technology helps bring people closer to the game they love - whether it’s families watching from afar or fans catching up on replays, this partnership is all about connection and accessibility.”

Joe Sprangers, Touch New Zealand Chief Executive Officer, echoed the sentiment: “We are excited to be partnering with Sportway and to offer world-class broadcast options for our members across Aotearoa,”

“Our sport consistently ranks as one of the most engaged-with codes on local networks, and to now have our games live exclusively on the Sportway platform is a huge step forward. Having multiple fields from our national tournaments streamed live and on demand means players, coaches, whānau, and fans can stay connected to the game like never before.
