Who needs tickets?

It appears sports fans can now get right into the action without ever leaving their home thanks to a new five-year partnership between FOX Sports and NextVR that is aiming to broadcast live sports in virtual reality.

According to a Wednesday press release, the coverage will include a range of top sporting events for which FOX Sports holds the broadcast rights.

“It’s all about delivering something new and exciting for our viewers,” FOX Sports president, COO and executive producer Eric Shanks said. “Virtual reality is the next great frontier in immersive experiences for fans across a wide variety of sports. It’s a rapidly changing technology, and this deal with NextVR positions us to be on the front lines for years to come.”

FOX Sports and NextVR said the technology was originally tested last year for the Auto Club 400 NASCAR race in Fontana, Calif., and the United States Open Golf Championship.

The companies also tested a live, virtual reality stream last month for the Premier Boxing Champions matches. The next live broadcast in virtual reality will be this weekend’s Daytona 500 race, the companies said.

Future virtual reality programming on FOX Sports will be announced soon and will be available on the NextVR portal, the companies said.

The companies said FOX Sports’ virtual reality programming can be accessed by Samsung Gear VR owners via the NextVR app on any Gear VR headset compatible phone.
