Victory+
over-the-top sports streaming service
Victory+ was an American free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service owned by Calgary-based A Parent Media Co. It officially launched in September 2024, ahead of the 2024–25 NHL season.
The service was first established in partnership with the Dallas Stars of the National Hockey League (NHL), offering in-market streaming of regional Stars games not broadcast by one of the NHL's national media partners, as well as other team-produced video content. The contract succeeded an agreement with Bally Sports Southwest, which was terminated as part of a restructuring by its parent company Diamond Sports Group.
Prior to its launch, Victory+ would expand beyond Dallas Stars content; prior to the 2026-27 NHL season, it would also partner with the NHL's Anaheim Ducks to succeed a contract with Bally Sports West, and sub-licensed selected preseason—and later, regular season—games from the St. Louis Blues. In 2025, Victory+ became the paid streaming partner for the Texas Rangers' new Rangers Sports Network, and the service began to add non-regional content, including streaming agreements with the National Women's Soccer League, Overtime, the Major Arena Soccer League, and the Western Hockey League. Beginning in July 2026, Victory+ would progressively lose its major sports rights and would wind up announcing its dissolution by September of that year.
History
Formation
On March 14, 2023, Diamond Sports Group, the parent company of the Dallas Stars' then-broadcaster Bally Sports Southwest (now FanDuel Sports Network Southwest), filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. In July 2024, as part of the company's restructuring process, Diamond filed a motion with the U.S. bankruptcy court to terminate the company's contract with the Dallas Stars.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Victory+” is over-the-top sports streaming service. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Victory, over-the-top and sports, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “over-the-top sports streaming service” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q130283911. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2024, 2026, 2025 and 2023.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
