The first match: Valencia CF vs. FC Barcelona
The starting gun will be given on October 29 in Mestalla. Therefore, Twitch users will be able to exclusively follow the narration of the football match between Valencia CF and FC Barcelona. This alliance will turn Twtich streamers into sports commentators during different matches. They will not only narrate the games, but also the meeting will be broadcast live and from the stadiums.
The program Sportscasters by Twitch will be able to show live narrations from different streamers from the main stadiums of LaLiga Santander within a broadcast booth that will be customized for it. The best of all is that you can follow the meetings from your personal twitch channels. The first of them will be the retransmission carried out by the perxitaa streamerknown on the platform for Roleplay in GTA or also for his great passion for Valencia.
A bet for the future
Most important of all, this is just the beginning. In addition, another outstanding point that LaLiga makes clear is that «It will be the first time that content creators can be credited as storytellers to live and share the experience on site, showing their followers their reactions to the most important plays of the matches and sharing behind-the-scenes actions«.
And it is that, until now, the followers of different Twitch streamers had not been able to this experience. Previously we had already seen how different channels broadcast live the official summaries of the LaLiga days or the Ibai project with LaLiga, called LaLigaCasters. Although, to date we had not seen anything like it.
From Twitch he points out that «LaLiga quickly recognized the power of the live streaming on Twitch and today’s announcement is an extremely exciting development for our community«. However, the football body has made it clear that images cannot be viewed live of the meeting. As had already happened in other agreements.
Despite this, we have already seen the great power that different streamers have when it comes to moving masses to narrate football matches without viewing the real images of the match. Also, it remains to be seen who will be the next streamers in joining this new alliance between Twitch and LaLiga.
