Sportway and Perinvest Media continue their expansion in the Czech market with a new long-term partnership with the Czech Ball Hockey Federation (ČMSHb).
Perinvest Media, Sportway’s joint venture partner in the Czech Republic, will deliver comprehensive streaming coverage of Czech ball hockey across all competition levels — from the men’s Extraliga down to youth categories.
As part of the rollout, AI-powered camera systems will be installed at 12 venues ahead of the 2026/27 season, ensuring full coverage of the men’s Extraliga. A dedicated OTT platform, czechballhockey.tv, has also been launched, with the first matches already available for fans to watch.
This partnership builds on previous successful cooperation around international junior championships and comes at an exciting time for Czech ball hockey, with Ostrava hosting the Men’s Ball Hockey World Championship this summer.
Matuš Bubenik, CEO of Perinvest Media:
“We truly appreciate the trust from the Czech Ball Hockey Federation. We strongly believe this is the right direction, not only for increasing the visibility of the sport, but also for bringing the game closer to fans, families, and the wider community.”
The agreement further strengthens Sportway and Perinvest Media’s shared ambition to help both established and developing sports unlock their full media potential through AI-powered production and streaming technology.
