Rochester, Minn. - The Northwoods League today announced a renewed rights agreement with ESPN to stream select games each day of the 2023 season. These games will be available exclusively on ESPN+, along with the League playoffs and Summer Collegiate World Series. The Great Lakes and Great Plains All-Star Games hosted by the Traverse City Pit Spitters and the Bismarck Larks will air on ESPNU.
The Northwoods League has a four-camera HD setup in each ballpark in the league and has been streaming games for over ten years.

The Northwoods League All-Star Game in the Great Lakes Division will take place on July 25 in Traverse City and the All-Star Game in the Great Plains will be on August 1 in Bismarck.
