WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 11, 2026) - Monumental Sports & Entertainment (MSE), in collaboration with founding partner Ticketmaster and OneCourt, today announced plans to bring OneCourt's innovative tactile broadcast technology to Capital One Arena in downtown Washington, D.C. Launching Nov. 12, the initiative will create a more accessible live sports experience for fans who are blind or have low vision by making OneCourt tablets available to fans attending Washington Capitals (NHL) and Washington Wizards (NBA) home games.

Along with the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche, and Detroit Red Wings, the Capitals will be among the first NHL teams to offer OneCourt technology, underscoring MSE's commitment to enhancing the in-arena experience for all fans and innovation across its sports and entertainment properties. Since 2025, Ticketmaster has made OneCourt tablets available to fans at every home game for ten NBA teams. Notably, Capital One Arena is one of the first venues to offer OneCourt tablets at both NBA and NHL games.

"As we transform the fan experience at Capital One Arena, accessibility remains a top priority," said Jordan Silberman, President, Venues at MSE. "Bringing OneCourt to Capitals and Wizards games is an important part of that work, using innovative technology to break down barriers and make sure every fan can feel a part of the live event, and share in the energy and excitement of live sports."

OneCourt's technology transforms live gameplay into real-time tactile feedback and audio, allowing fans to follow the action through touch and sound. Using a haptic tablet, fans can track the movement and flow of the game with their fingertips as vibrations communicate on-ice or on-court action, while audio updates help convey the excitement of each play. The technology offers fans who are blind or have low vision a new way to connect with the game and experience the energy of live sports alongside fellow fans.

"Bringing OneCourt to both the Capitals and the Wizards means blind and low-vision fans across the DMV can now feel the game at Capital One Arena all season long, on the ice and on the court," said Jerred Mace, CEO and Founder of OneCourt. "We're grateful to Monumental Sports & Entertainment and Ticketmaster for making accessibility part of the Capital One Arena experience and helping more fans share in the excitement of live sports."

OneCourt tablets will be available free of charge at the Capital One Arena Guest Services location at Section 102 beginning on Nov. 12 for Wizards games and Nov. 14 for Capitals games. Fans are encouraged to reserve a device ahead of their visit to Capital One Arena HERE.

"Blind and low-vision fans will now be able to feel every fast break, every breakaway and share in the energy of the game alongside everyone else in the arena," said Kurt Schwartzkopf, Head of Sports, North America at Ticketmaster. "We are proud to support Monumental Sports & Entertainment in achieving this exciting milestone of making Capital One Arena one of the first venues to offer OneCourt tablets at both NBA and NHL games."
