BILLINGS, Mont.- Rocky Mountain College is proud to announce a new live-streaming partnership with Urban Edge Network (UEN), providing free-to-watch broadcasts of all home events for Battlin' Bear Athletics. 

"Partnering with Urban Edge Network is a natural progression in what we offer to our Rocky fans from all over the country," Rocky Athletic Director Kelly Perry said. "What Urban Edge provides the NAIA, Conferences, and Institutions is a platform that showcases the talent of our NAIA student-athletes on a larger scale, free to watch for all." 

With Urban Edge Network holding streaming agreements with nine NAIA conferences, including the Cascade Collegiate Conference, where Battlin' Bear Soccer was live-streamed in the fall, Rocky Mountain College is among just a handful of NAIA institutions to partner directly with the network. UEN offers a free platform that allows fans to watch on desktop, mobile, and smart TV apps. 

"Rocky Mountain College represents the kind of tradition, competitive excellence, and community pride that makes NAIA athletics so special," said Hardy L. Pelt, Founding Member and Chief Revenue Officer of Urban Edge Network. "We're excited to bring Battlin' Bear Athletics to fans everywhere through our free streaming platform, expanding visibility for Rocky's student-athletes while continuing to grow the national footprint of NAIA sports."

An emerging force in athletics live-streaming, Urban Edge Network serves as a partner of the NAIA, broadcasting all NAIA National Championships during the 2025-26 season, and has agreements with numerous NAIA conferences. Urban Edge Network has demonstrated strong audience growth across NAIA championships, drawing nearly 3 million viewers during the NAIA fall championships and another 2 million viewers in January programming, primarily NAIA basketball coverage, for a total of nearly 6 million advertising impressions. 

Rocky's Men's and Women's Basketball National Championship First and Second Round contests will be streamed this weekend on the Urban Edge Network.
