Low6 Limited Inc (Low6), a leader in sports mobile gamification technology, has announced a relationship with LEARFIELD by way of its new integration with SIDEARM Sports, the leading digital media provider for official collegiate athletics programs. This marks a first entry into the college sports space for Low6, presenting a brand-new opportunity for schools.

Low6 will use its industry-leading, free-to-play digital gaming expertise to develop unique mobile games for collegiate athletic programs and their fans. Participating schools include NC State, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

We are excited to roll out our platform to more schools across the country, potentially seeing Low6 engage with millions of students, alumni, and college sports fans.”

The Low6 gamification platform gives our partner schools an elevated digital offering for their fans to enjoy on any device, wherever they are, only deepening that unmatched affinity.”
