PHILADELPHIA, PA / ACCESS Newswire / September 21, 2026 / Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced Dream Bowl XV. The game is the 15th anniversary edition of the premier college football all-star showcase for professional draft-eligible talent from all college divisions and NAIA programs. It will be held Sunday, January 17, 2027, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and is planned to be broadcast nationally on ESPN.
Dream Bowl XV continues Datavault AI's role as an intellectual property licensing partner and official sponsor of The Dream Bowl alongside Cutting-Edge Sports Management. It builds on the Company's debut at Dream Bowl XIV. Since 2013, The Dream Bowl has honored the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and has given overlooked collegiate athletes a professional-caliber send-off in front of professional scouts.
New for Dream Bowl XV, Cutting Edge Sports Management and Datavault AI will introduce a Bowl Combine that gives eligible student-athletes a direct path onto the game roster. Datavault AI will run the combine as a promotional event through its event registration services business, Event Citadel™, combined with VerifyU™ credentialing and API Media event technologies on site with ADIO® technology enabled throughout the venue. The combine is designed to evaluate eligible student-athletes on performance, not pedigree. Several Datavault AI technologies are intended to support credentialing, and a verifiable record of each athlete's combine results: DataScore®, DataValue®, the Information Data Exchange® ("IDE®") and the NIL Vault™ ("NILv™") platform.
"Fifteen years in, The Dream Bowl is still about one thing: putting players on a stage worthy of the work they have already put in. Coming back to AT&T Stadium for Dream Bowl XV and adding a Bowl Combine that can put two eligible student-athletes on the roster with real playing time, is how we keep the dream alive for the next class," said Neil Malvone, Founder and CEO of Cutting-Edge Sports Management and The Dream Bowl.
"The Dream Bowl is where performance gets measured at face value. At Dream Bowl XIV, we showed that tokenized memorabilia and verified athlete data can live on a single rail. With DataScore, DataValue, IDE and NILv, athletes now get a verifiable record of what they did, not who they already know. Awarding two Dream Bowl XV roster spots and playing time through the Bowl Combine is the next step in leveling that field," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.
"The difference between good and great is small margins - the detail, the intention. A Bowl Combine that can put two eligible athletes on a Dream Bowl roster is the kind of second chance I respect. Show up. Do the work. Earn the spot," said Mark Kerr, UFC Hall of Famer, sports media personality, Datavault AI ambassador and subject of The Smashing Machine.
Dream Bowl XV Weekend
Dream Bowl XV is scheduled as a four-day college football all-star weekend. It will include practices, the Bowl Combine, professional scouting sessions, and the game at AT&T Stadium on January 17, 2027.
Datavault AI expects to deploy its tokenization, VerifyU credentialing and Information Data Exchange ("IDE") technologies across the weekend. These are intended to let athlete credentials and combine results be authenticated, recorded and managed on a single platform. The deployment is part of the Company's strategy to commercialize its platforms in sports and live events. Any additional fan-engagement or memorabilia programs for Dream Bowl XV will be announced separately.
Ticket, roster, combine-eligibility and broadcast details will be published at dreambowl.net as they are confirmed.
