The HCAC Network continues to make waves across the country and beyond, with viewership climbing to new heights this fall. Football coverage is up 15% from 2024, and fans are tuning in from all over the globe — including missionaries watching from Ukraine, Poland, and other countries.
Despite the international growth, Midwest audiences remain the heart of the HCAC’s strong and loyal fan base.
At the center of it all, IndianaSRN serves as the main broadcast hub, producing high-quality streams and delivering a first-class experience that rivals major networks.
“We’ve seen tremendous growth and engagement,” said Keith Meyers, VP of Operations at IndianaSRN. “It’s exciting to see how the HCAC Network has taken off and connected with so many people, both here at home and overseas.”
The vision first sparked through Jay Jones’ discovery and development of the HCAC Network, which has since grown into a powerful platform for NCAA Division III athletics. Not only football, but also HCAC Championship events have drawn strong and consistent audiences.
Up next, fans can look forward to Volleyball and Soccer Championships streaming later in October and November, as the HCAC Network continues to bring championship moments to screens everywhere — celebrating athletes, schools, and stories that make DIII sports so special.
Why the HCAC Is So Popular
The Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference (HCAC) continues to rise in popularity — and it’s easy to see why.
Fans love the competitive, family-friendly atmosphere that Division III athletics brings. Every week, student-athletes showcase heart, hustle, and teamwork on and off the field.
With IndianaSRN serving as the broadcast hub, fans enjoy professional coverage that makes them feel part of the game — whether they’re in Indiana or watching from across the world. Viewership is up 15% from 2024, and the audience continues to grow both in the Midwest and overseas, with missionaries tuning in from Ukraine and Poland.
The HCAC’s mix of great competition, inspiring stories, and community connection makes it one of the most popular Division III conferences in the nation.
“The HCAC isn’t just sports — it’s a family,” says Keith Meyers, VP of Operations at IndianaSRN. “That’s what keeps viewers coming back week after week.”
