The NCAA awarded ESPN a 5-year agreement to televise the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship through 2022 in Gulf Shores, Alabama. The next championship will take place May 4-6, 2018 on the Gulf Shores Public Beach and is hosted by the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission, city of Gulf Shores and University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
“NCAA awarding the broadcast contract to ESPN means even more exposure for Alabama’s beaches to a national audience,” said Beth Gendler, vice president of sales for the Gulf Shores & Orange Beach Sports Commission. “We are continuing to improve this championship from a local sports tourism perspective, and we look forward to welcoming the student-athletes, families, fans, staffs and ESPN to Gulf Shores in May 2018.”
