Team Boxing League ("TBL"), formerly known as Team Combat League, announced a multi-year agreement with Envoy Media Co., the new media company led by Dr. Phil McGraw, to serve as the league's official producing partner and media hub platform beginning with TBL's fourth season, which launched over the weekend. Under the agreement, all TBL match coverage, studio programming, and original content will be produced from Envoy Media Co.'s state-of-the-art television studios in Dallas, Texas. Envoy will produce, promote, and distribute more than 70 weekly hours of TBL programming, including live matches, encore presentations, classic telecasts, and an all-original studio show alongside additional shoulder content.
The comprehensive programming schedule will air across Envoy's flagship platforms, EnvoyTV (pay cable - MVPD/VMVPD) and EnvoyFAST, delivering a complementary viewing experience with a combined reach of more than 120 million TV households and connected devices. TBL coverage on EnvoyFAST will also be accessible via the EnvoyTV App, further expanding availability to digital audiences nationwide.
"We are thrilled to partner with Envoy Media as we enter an exciting new chapter for TBL," said Kevin Cassidy, CEO of TBL Team Boxing League. "Dr Phil and Envoy's commitment to the highest quality production, expansive distribution across all popular content platforms, and innovative original programming makes them the ideal partner to bring our fast-paced, team-based format to fans across the country."
"TBL Team Boxing League is quickly proving one of the most exciting and fantastically disruptive innovations in all of professional sports," said Ken Solomon, President and CEO of Envoy Media. "The league's 24-round, three-minute per matchup format means that for boxing fans new and old, the first time ever, every round is the deciding round. TBL's dual-gender open team tryouts and three live match days per week take one of the most universal and beloved sports to a whole new level, and its all-out format is tailor-made for broad, cross platform media consumption. Once TBL's nonstop action starts, it is impossible to turn away until the final bell."
EnvoyTV's distribution partners include Charter's Spectrum, the nation's #1 cable provider, with systemwide distribution across 41 markets including top ranked markets, New York, Los Angeles, and Dallas, as well as national provider Frndly TV. EnvoyFAST is available nationwide on platforms including Samsung TV Plus, Vidaa/Hisense, and Local Now. This partnership marks a major milestone in TBL's continued growth, delivering unprecedented access, expanded programming, and a new level of production quality for fans of team-based professional boxing.
