LAS VEGAS — In conjunction with the Mountain West, New Mexico today announced its part in the league's launch of MW+, its new direct-to-consumer digital subscription platform, powered by leading streaming technology and services company Kiswe. The platform marks a significant step forward in the Conference’s digital evolution, delivering expanded access to live and on-demand content, while creating new opportunities for fan engagement and revenue generation for member institutions. Most of each subscription purchased through a member school’s dedicated page will directly support that institution, creating a scalable and sustainable revenue opportunity aligned with fan engagement.

Lobo fans can register for their MW+ accounts right here. By registering through that link, UNM will reap the subscription benefits.

Along with exclusive games on MW+, including all Mountain West soccer and volleyball contests in the fall and three Lobo football games, fans will have access to live weekly and postgame press conferences, podcasts, classic games, and Lobo Coaches Shows. Lobo fans can purchase an annual subscription for $79.99 or a monthly subscription for $10.99, which provides access not just to Lobo content but to all 10 Mountain West schools.

Through its partnership with Kiswe, the Conference is introducing a modern, interactive viewing experience designed for today’s fans—one that is flexible, accessible, and built for scale.

“MW+ is a game-changer for the Mountain West,” said Mountain West Commissioner Gloria Nevarez. “Not only are we expanding how fans connect with our schools and student-athletes, but we’re also creating a powerful new revenue stream that directly benefits our member institutions. This is about building the future of our Conference, and this platform allows us to deliver more of our stories, more of our student-athletes, and more of our live events directly to the audiences who care most.”

MW+ will provide:

  • Live streaming coverage of Mountain West events not available through traditional broadcast partners.
  • Dedicated landing pages for each member school.
  • On-demand replays and original content spotlighting student-athletes, programs, and Conference initiatives, while providing new opportunities for student-athletes to elevate their personal brands and showcase their own content.
  • Interactive viewing experiences, including real-time engagement tools.
  • A technology platform that enables MW+ to deliver scalable, high-quality streams while integrating engagement features that bring fans closer to the action.

 

To celebrate the launch, the Conference will offer a limited-time early adopter promotion. Fans who purchase an annual subscription in July, August, and September will receive a $67.99 rate, a 15% discount off the standard annual price.

“MW+ is a platform where every school, every sport, and every athlete has a home to tell their stories,” said Kiswe CEO, Glenn Booth. “It will not only allow students, faculty, alumni, friends, and family to come together as a community to support their favorite team or athlete, but will also provide direct and material financial benefit to each school. We’re excited to partner with the Mountain West on this revolutionary new media model and look forward to bringing MW+ to life in 2026.”

Fans can watch MW+ worldwide on a variety of platforms and devices, including desktop and mobile web browsers, Apple and Android mobile devices, and streaming devices such as Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Amazon Prime Channels (coming soon), and more.

The launch of MW+ underscores the Conference’s commitment to innovation, visibility, and long-term sustainability. By owning and operating its own platform, the Mountain West is positioning itself—and its member schools—for continued growth in an evolving media landscape.


About the Mountain West
Since its founding in 1999, the Mountain West has remained steadfast in its commitment to excellence in intercollegiate athletics while advancing the academic missions of its member institutions. Central to that mission is the holistic development of our student-athletes—championing their success not only in competition but also in the classroom and in their personal growth. Beginning with the 2026–27 season, the Mountain West will feature a comprehensive membership model that brings together full-time, all-sport institutions alongside select sport-specific members. The Conference’s all-sport members—United States Air Force Academy; University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa; University of Nevada, Reno; University of Nevada, Las Vegas; University of New Mexico; San José State University; University of Texas at El Paso; and University of Wyoming will compete across the full Mountain West portfolio, including football. University of California, Davis, and Grand Canyon University will join as all-sport members outside of football, while Colorado College (women’s soccer), North Dakota State University (football), Northern Illinois University (football and women’s gymnastics), and Utah Tech University (baseball and men’s soccer) will compete as affiliate members in designated sports.
