Squash broadcast expansion: questions for glass court venue briefs

The industry update

The National Squash League has announced live coverage on SQUASHTV for its 2026–27 season. Its 5 October update describes a league of 16 men’s and women’s teams, with the season starting on 16 October.

Consider the camera position before the venue is fixed

Broadcast ambitions can affect how a glass squash court sits within a building. Camera positions, equipment routes, available power and lighting coordination should be discussed with the production team before installation. They are venue requirements to resolve, not automatic features implied by the words “all-glass”.

A practical buying brief should distinguish a club that occasionally records training from a venue intended for organised broadcast events. The former may need a simple recording arrangement; the latter requires an event-specific review. Ask the relevant specialists to consider sightlines and reflections alongside the court supplier’s installation information.

Before you specify a court

Provide the supplier with a plan showing the court and surrounding clearances, then share it with the lighting and production teams. Confirm who supplies each interface and who signs off the final arrangement. VELNUZ does not claim that this league uses its courts, or that a standard court package alone meets a broadcaster’s requirements.
