CrossFit called the agreement an important step for the future of the sport.

"Our media partnership with FloSports is critical to the success of CrossFit. It provides direct investment into the sport with enhanced coverage and storytelling to broaden exposure. We are in a much better place today because of it."

The goal is to create more opportunities for fans to follow CrossFit throughout the year—not just during the Games—with additional athlete features, competition coverage, and original content. The partnership will provide a mix of free and subscription segments, and a FloSports subscription gives CrossFit fans access to thousands of live events across the FloSports network. 

Why Are The CrossFit Games On A Subscription Service?

The mission at FloSports is to grow our sports every day, and our model will work for CrossFit and the CrossFit community by providing the direct investment needed for the sport and the type of exposure via content and marketing that will expand its reach.

A subscription model is needed to create a sustainable business that can support FloSports and CrossFit growth, but we will be making a significant amount of CrossFit content and athletes available across social media and our many free distribution channels.

We have created a mix of free and subscription-based access to CrossFit content and competitions to give everyone in the CrossFit community different ways to follow the sport.
