The much-publicized “SoonerVision on ESPN+” will finally launch on Aug. 1. No longer will Sooners fans need PPV to view nonconference matchups. From now on, Oklahoma Sooners content will be easily accessible on ESPN+.
The new home for SoonerVision was announced in May.
This deal will affect not only the football program but every varsity program at OU. Every single sport will be more accessible to the average fan. After sky-high ratings for the 2022 Women’s College World Series, Oklahoma softball might get even more publicity than it already does.
This deal with ESPN is the most expansive of its kind for a university athletics program. It includes the OU spring game, archived content and 25-plus OU basketball games.
It’s easy to wonder if OU’s move to the SEC is what got this deal going in the first place. ESPN will be the media rights holder for the SEC starting in 2024 after outbidding former rights holder CBS.
Athletic director Joe Castiglione shared the news Saturday night on social media.

If you don’t want to wait until Monday, have no fear. There’s already good Oklahoma content on the ESPN app, including a recap of the 2000 football season.
ESPN will have a bonanza of Sooners content for you to peruse now and in the future.
