INDIANAPOLIS – The Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) announced Wednesday an expanded partnership with Hudl, naming Hudl Tickets the league's official ticketing provider beginning with the 2026-27 academic year.
Through the partnership, Hudl Tickets will provide digital ticketing services for GLVC Championship events, giving fans a streamlined platform to purchase and access tickets. The platform allows fans to purchase tickets digitally and receive them directly through email for entry at Conference events.
“The GLVC is proud to extend our partnership with Hudl through this agreement to make them the official ticket vendor for league championship events,” said GLVC Commissioner Jim Naumovich. “Hudl has established itself as an industry leader in multiple areas and we look forward to working with them again on this important initiative.”
The agreement further expands the GLVC's longstanding relationship with Hudl, which dates back to the launch of the GLVC Sports Network in 2014. The two organizations signed a five-year exclusive media rights partnership in 2025, making Hudl the Conference's official media and streaming partner.
“Expanding our partnership with the GLVC to include digital ticketing is a natural next step in modernizing the gameday experience,” said Mark Krug, Elite Fan Partnerships at Hudl. “The GLVC has always demonstrated excellence across its athletic programs, and bringing Hudl Ticketing to member schools provides fans with fast, seamless access to every event. Together, we’re continuing to elevate the standard for fan engagement across the entire conference.”
Tickets for GLVC Championship events will be available at GLVCsports.com/Tickets and on individual championship pages throughout the 2026-27 academic year.
