the latest broadcast was in the NBA.
As the CNBS reported (end of October 2015)
"The NBA will make history Tuesday as the league will become
the first to broadcast a live professional sports game in virtual
reality.
As the 2015-2016 season kicks off, the NBA, Turner Sports and NextVR will live stream opening night when the 2015 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors take on the New Orleans Pelicans.
In addition to the game, participating fans will get a front-row seat to history. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver will award the Warriors their 2015 championship rings in a pregame ceremony that will also be part of the broadcast"
