NSBN to Deliver Full Live Broadcast Coverage of 2025 AAC Softball Tournament

KINGSPORT, Tenn. (SESN) — The Southeast Sports Network (SESN) will provide complete live coverage of the 2025 Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) Softball Tournament, broadcasting every pitch, hit, and catch from the Brickyard Ball Fields in Kingsport, Tennessee. The five-day, double-elimination tournament begins Monday, April 28, and concludes with the championship round on Friday, May 2, offering fans nationwide free access to the action across multiple streaming platforms.

Reinhardt enters the tournament as the No. 1 seed after winning the regular season with a 23-5 conference record. As the AAC’s regular-season champion, Reinhardt has already secured one of the league’s two automatic berths to the NAIA National Championship. The tournament champion will claim the second automatic bid — or, if Reinhardt also wins the tournament, the runner-up will advance.

All of the platforms from the info section above will be live-streamed at no cost. The tournament will also be simulcast to the AAC Digital Network, as well as select terrestrial television partners, allowing fans nationwide to tune in from anywhere.

Bradley Hoover, Director of Sports at Visit Kingsport, emphasized the excitement around another major championship event in the city:

“We are honored to host the AAC softball programs here in Kingsport. The Brickyard Ball Fields will provide a first-class atmosphere for the tournament, and we look forward to welcoming players, coaches, and fans for an outstanding week of competition.”

SESN, known for extensive, high-quality broadcasts across multiple sports, continues to expand its tournament coverage with another full week of live content. Whether attending in person or tuning in from home, SESN ensures you won’t miss a moment of the action on the road to the NAIA postseason.
