The Ivy League announced on August 24 availability on Apple TV and Roku for its coverage of conference athletics.

ILDN is a nine-channel network, and in-home television viewing of ILDN is now possible for the first time as a result of the new Apple TV and Roku availability.

In-game television viewing of live events on ILDN began last month.
