I already have a BeachStream account. How can I upgrade it to get full access to BeachStream and what does an ‘upgrade’ mean?

You can easily upgrade your account by following the process on our website. Upgrading your account means you will be able to enjoy full access to all of the BeachStream features, including live streaming of all matches (depending on your location).

 

I cannot view BeachStream because of my location – why is this?

This will be due to a variety of legal reasons, some of which may include existing TV rights/agreements. 

 

Are there any geographic restrictions? Am I able to watch and access BeachStream where I live?

BeachStream is available everywhere except in Brazil. If you are located in Brazil you will not be able to upgrade your account and therefore not be able to access the service due to TV licensing agreements.

 

How long is the subscription period?

Your subscription will be valid until March 18 and will automatically end on that date. You will not charged after this date.

 

Why am I being charged for this service when it was free last year?

This year, BeachStream will be even bigger and better, with a number of new, exclusive behind-the-scenes content supplementing the hugely popular live streaming of every match. The infrastructure required to provide such a service comes at a cost to maintain. Our unique service will give beach volleyball fans the best quality video of all live matches, as well as access to a comprehensive library 

of every match played during the tournament.

 

What kind of content will I see for my money?

Just like last season, fans who upgrade to the full BeachStream service will get to watch every match from the Fort Lauderdale Major 2018 live – from the qualification stage all the way through to the final. As well as every match live on the platform, there will be a host of new behind-the-scenes features, news, interviews and action clips. Not only that, once every match has finished it will be available to watch in the Video on Demand section, after a short period of time, meaning you can watch back your favorite games again and again.

 

Does the payment cover the cost of the whole season?

The cost of upgrading your BeachStream account to access the full content is € 4.99 and this cost is set on a tournament-by-tournament basis. 

 

I’ve subscribed to the platform but haven’t upgraded my account – what do I get access to?

You will get access to last season’s content. This means, that you can access, for example, video on demand content produced at Fort Lauderdale Major 2017.
