KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) announced the renewal of its partnership with PrestoSports, extending a long-standing relationship through June 30, 2029. Under the new agreement, PrestoSports continues as the Official Web & Stats Solutions Provider of the NAIA, with expanded services designed to strengthen the statistical, digital, and championship experience for NAIA member institutions and fans.

“Our partnership with PrestoSports continues to be an important part of how we serve and support NAIA member institutions,” said NAIA President/Chief Executive Officer Jim Carr. “As we continue to strengthen the NAIA’s digital presence, we’re excited to extend this relationship with a trusted partner that shares our commitment to innovation, service, and The Right Way to Play®.” 

The renewed agreement builds on a partnership that began in 2019, and reflects a deepened commitment between the two organizations.

“With more than 120,000 college games statted in PrestoStats last year, we’ve seen the scale of what’s possible when technology serves the student-athlete,” said Marilyn Cox, PrestoSports President. “We’re proud to partner with the NAIA—an association built on character and the athlete experience—and we look forward to building the next generation of collegiate athletics solutions together, making that experience better for its members year after year.”

As part of the agreement, PrestoSports remains the NAIA’s exclusive provider of web and statistics management services across NAIA member institutions. That designation includes:

  • PrestoStats, the NAIA’s statistics capture, entry, management, and reporting platform, supporting sports including baseball & softball, basketball, football, flag football, lacrosse, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. As a result, PrestoSports will be a recognized sponsor of weekly student-athlete awards in these sports.
  • PrestoSports Data Feed, new in 2026, will deliver schedules, results, season statistics, post-event statistics, and live in-game data to NAIA.org.
  • StatView Live Stats Display, also new in 2026, will be the official live stats display for use during NAIA-sponsored championships.
  • The RPI Rankings System, which calculates and manages Rating Percentage Index rankings for NAIA member institutions, will continue to play a pivotal role in postseason qualification for select championships.
