Today, new age sports media and talent management brand Playmaker has announced a partnership with social broadcasting platform, Caffeine to bring exclusive livestreaming coverage of the Miami Pro League Playoffs to fans as well as two additional Playmaker events.
Playmaker will work with the growing social broadcasting platform to deliver free, uninterrupted coverage of one of the most highly acclaimed and highly competitive pro-am basketball leagues. This season, the Miami Pro League has featured some of the best talents in the Association with NBA All-Stars Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat), Donovan Mitchell (Utah Jazz), and Darius Garland (Cleveland Cavaliers), and rising talents like Marvin Bagley III (Detroit Pistons), Derrick Jones, Jr. (Chicago Bulls), Obi Toppin (New York Knicks), and Haywood Highsmith (Miami Heat).
Coverage of the playoffs will run on August 10, 12, 17, and 19 from 6:30-9 p.m. EST on the caf.tv/playmaker/t channel. Playmaker will also work with Caffeine to stream a special September influencer 1vs1 basketball event as well as a dunk contest in October.
The Miami Pro League Playoffs joins Caffeine’s stacked lineup of summer basketball content. In June, Caffeine became the exclusive live streaming partner for The Drew League where surprise guests have included NBA stars Lebron James (Los Angeles Lakers), DeMar DeRozan (Chicago Bulls), Trey Young (Atlanta Hawks), among others as well as King of the Court, the brand new 1:1 tournament from BallisLife.
