RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. - The Great American Conference is pleased to announce the creation of the
GAC Sports Network powered by Hudl. Launching for the 2026-27 athletic season, the network will provide fans with comprehensive live and on-demand broadcast coverage from seven participating member institutions and selected GAC post-season championship events.
Participating institutions for the upcoming academic year include:
Arkansas Tech University,
University of Arkansas–Monticello,
East Central University,
Oklahoma Baptist University,
Southeastern Oklahoma State University,
Southern Arkansas University, and
Southern Nazarene University. By implementing this collective subscription model, the GAC joins fourteen (14) other NCAA Division II conferences that utilize similar networks to enhance broadcast quality and provide resources for campus operations.
"The GAC Sports Network will allow the conference's fans to watch a majority of the league's schools on a single platform powered by Hudl's powerful technology," said GAC commissioner Will Prewitt. "It's exciting to get this initiative launched that helps provide our member schools with additional resources and we're confident that it will continue to grow in upcoming seasons."
All GAC Sports Network subscription tiers offer both live viewing and on-demand replays during the applicable access period.
Fans can access the GAC Sports Network via the Hudl Fan app and at gacsportsnetwork.com
The GAC Sports Network will offer five (5) flexible subscription tiers in 2026-27:
2026-27 Season Pass ($150)
The ultimate package for dedicated fans. Provides access to all participating regular season broadcasts, plus all GAC postseason and conference championship events. Valid through June 30, 2027.
Monthly Pass ($25/month)
An auto-renewing subscription providing access to all participating regular season broadcasts across all sports. (Note: Does not include postseason or championship events).
Championship Pass ($20/season)
Dedicated access to all GAC championship broadcasts within a selected championship season (Fall, Winter, or Spring).
Football Day Pass ($15)
Single-Saturday access to all participating regular season football broadcasts available on that specific day.
Daily Pass ($10)
24-hour access to all non-football regular season broadcasts available on the network.
Â
Broadcast availability is determined by the host institution. Fans should note that contests hosted by non-participating GAC members are not currently included in the GAC Sports Network subscription packages. When a participating school travels to play a non-participating school, the host institution will manage the broadcast on its individual platform.
GACSN Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to the GAC Sports Network powered by Hudl! Below you will find answers to the most common questions regarding subscription options, broadcast access, and participating institutions for the 2026-27 athletic seasons.
1.  General Information
What is the GAC Sports Network?
The GAC Sports Network provides live and on-demand broadcasts from seven participating Great American Conference (GAC) member institutions:
- Arkansas Tech
- Arkansas–Monticello
- East Central
- Oklahoma Baptist
- Southeastern Oklahoma State
- Southern Arkansas
- Southern Nazarene
Note: Not all GAC member institutions participate in the collective subscription model. Broadcasts hosted by non-participating GAC members are not currently included on the GAC Sports Network.
Why aren't broadcasts from every GAC school included?
- Currently, seven GAC member institutions participate in the conference's collective subscription model. Games hosted by participating institutions are available through the network. Games hosted by non-participating institutions are not currently featured since each school controls their rights to those home games. It is anticipated that more schools will join the network in the future.
Do other Division II conferences and schools have networks?
- Fourteen (14) NCAA Division II conferences, including neighboring conferences MIAA, LSC, GSC, GLVC, and NSIC, operate subscription network options. Nearly two-thirds of NCAA Division II schools are part of a subscription network that provide resources to enhance broadcasts and operations on their campuses.Â

3.  Detailed Pass Information
2026-27 Season Pass
What is included with the 2026-27 Season Pass?
- The $150 Season Pass provides the most complete access to the GAC Sports Network. It includes all regular season broadcasts hosted by the seven participating GAC institutions, as well as all GAC postseason and conference championship broadcasts. Fans can view these live or on-demand. The pass expires at the conclusion of the academic year on June 30, 2027.
Does the Season Pass include GAC championships?
- Yes. All GAC postseason and conference championship broadcasts are included at no additional charge. Season Pass holders do not need to purchase separate Fall, Winter, or Spring Championship Passes.
Monthly Pass
How does the Monthly Pass work?
- The $25 Monthly Pass provides access to all regular season broadcasts (across all sports) hosted by the seven participating GAC institutions. It automatically renews each month until canceled.
Are postseason games included with a Monthly Pass?
- No. Monthly Passes cover regular season broadcasts only. To watch GAC postseason and championship broadcasts, fans will need either the 2026-27 Season Pass or the appropriate $20 Championship Pass.
Championship Passes
What is the Championship Pass?
- The $20 Championship Pass provides access to all GAC championship broadcasts offered during one selected championship season (Fall, Winter, or Spring). Each pass covers all GAC championship broadcasts within that respective season, not simply one single event. Specific championships available within these packages will be identified on the GAC Sports Network as schedules are finalized.
Do I need a Championship Pass if I already purchased the Season Pass?
- No. Championship broadcasts are already included with the 2026-27 Season Pass.Â
Daily & Football Day Passes
What is the Football Day Pass?
- The $15 Football Day Pass provides access to all regular season GAC Sports Network football broadcasts available from the seven participating institutions on a particular Saturday. You can watch multiple participating-school football broadcasts that day rather than purchasing access to only one game.
What is the Daily Pass?
- The $10 Daily Pass provides 24-hour access to all other regular season broadcasts (non-football) available through the GAC Sports Network. To purchase, select the broadcast you want to watch and follow the purchase instructions. Note that Saturday football access is strictly handled through the Football Day Pass.
If I buy a Daily Pass or Football Day Pass, can I watch more than one event?
- Yes. Both passes provide access to all eligible regular season broadcasts during their respective access periods (24 hours for the Daily Pass, or the designated Saturday for the Football Day Pass).Â
4.  Broadcast Availability & Road Games
What happens when a participating GAC school plays at a non-participating GAC school?
- Broadcast availability is always determined by the host institution. If the contest is hosted by a non-participating GAC member, that school's broadcast is not included with a GAC Sports Network subscription.
If my favorite school is one of the seven participating institutions, will every road game be included?
- Not necessarily. Your subscription covers broadcasts hosted by participating GAC Sports Network institutions. A participating school's road contest at a non-participating institution may be offered through that host school's separate broadcast platform and would not be included in your GAC Sports Network subscription.
Is there a benefit to subscribe if my favorite school is not participating in 2026-27?
- Yes. GAC Sports Network subscriptions provide access to your favorite team's contests when they play at GACSN member schools. Bundling those seven schools into one subscription package allows you to only purchase one subscription rather than an individual subscription from each road institution that utilizes a subscription model.
Can I watch games on demand after they are completed?
- Yes. GAC Sports Network subscriptions provide access to both live and on-demand broadcasts included within your applicable pass and access period.
