- GameChanger supports more than 9 million active users, over 1 million teams, and 9 million games annually across multiple youth sports
- GoPro’s wide-angle lens, rugged build, and flexible mounting options address common pain points for families streaming games through fences and in tough weather

What the Partnership Includes
GameChanger, the DICK’S Sporting Goods-owned youth sports app, and GoPro announced a new integration on March 10, 2025, pairing GoPro’s HERO13 Black camera with GameChanger’s live streaming platform. The GameChanger GoPro bundle includes the HERO13 Black, a USB Pass-Through Door, 64GB SD card, protective case, and the GameChanger streaming kit. Families can connect their GoPro directly within the GameChanger app and begin streaming through the GoPro Quik app.
The bundle is available exclusively at DICK’S Sporting Goods for $449.98.
Solving Real Problems on Game Day
The integration targets several persistent friction points for youth sports families who live stream games. GoPro’s compact size and mounting flexibility allow cameras to be positioned through chain-link fences, a common barrier at baseball, softball, and other field sports venues. The wide-angle lens captures a full field of play in a single frame, reducing the need for manual adjustments during a game.
GoPro’s 1900 mAh Enduro battery supports full-game streaming, and the USB Pass-Through Door enables external power for longer events like doubleheaders and tournaments. The cameras are also waterproof and dust-resistant, keeping streams running in weather that might sideline a phone.
Perhaps the most practical benefit: the setup frees a parent’s phone. Instead of mounting a smartphone behind a backstop for the duration of a game, families can use their phone for photos, messages, and communication while the GoPro handles the stream.
A New Use Case for an Existing Customer Base
For GoPro, the partnership opens a recurring use case among a massive existing customer base. Millions of families already own GoPro cameras for travel, skiing, and outdoor activities. This integration gives those cameras a new role on game day without requiring additional hardware beyond the streaming kit.
“Partnering with the pioneer in action camera technology allows us to deliver an even better experience to the millions of parents, coaches, and families who rely on GameChanger to capture the youth sports moments that matter most,” said GameChanger president Sameer Ahuja.
Rick Loughery, GoPro’s SVP of Global Marketing, added that the partnership brings GoPro’s mission to youth sports families, making it easier to live stream and stay connected with loved ones regardless of location.
Where This Fits in the Youth Sports Streaming Landscape
GameChanger’s scale in youth sports is significant: 9 million+ active users, 1 million+ teams, and 9 million+ games per year. Adding GoPro compatibility expands the hardware options available to families already embedded in the platform. The integration is available across all sports supported by GameChanger, with deep stats and scorekeeping for baseball, softball, and basketball.
For DICK’S Sporting Goods, the exclusive retail arrangement reinforces its position as the go-to destination for youth sports families, bundling hardware, software, and streaming capability into a single purchase.
