Schools & Academies

A home for school sport.

Showcase teams and talent, share fixtures with parents and celebrate every season.

The challenge

What gets in the way.

  • —Parents and alumni can't always attend.
  • —Talent goes unnoticed outside the school gates.
  • —Sport content is spread across newsletters and phones.

Why it matters to schools & academies

Built around what you need.

01Discoverability for every athlete

Talent shouldn't be limited by visibility.

Sports-focused profiles give every athlete a place to show who they are — and a way to be found beyond the networks they already have.

  • Dedicated sports profiles for highlights, achievements and sporting journeys.
  • Content that can be discovered by fans, clubs, coaches, scouts and potential sponsors.
  • Visibility for mainstream and underrepresented sports alike.

02Social and streaming in one ecosystem

More than a stream. A sporting destination.

Sports-focused social discovery meets structured live and on-demand viewing, so audiences move from finding content to watching more of it.

  • Profiles, communities and highlights alongside live events.
  • Live and on-demand viewing in a coherent sporting destination.
  • OTT destinations for organisations that need them.

03From camera to consumer

From the first whistle to the final screen.

Content creation, production, live streaming, playout, on-demand and OTT distribution — connected in one chain.

  • Works with simple grassroots setups through to professionally produced feeds.
  • Production and media operations services available by consultation.
  • Distribution to the digital destinations that suit each partner.

04Engagement and rewards

Engagement that can give back to sport.

ByteBucks and supported rewards experiences connect audience engagement with wider participation and athlete-support initiatives.

  • Rewards experiences where supported.
  • Engagement linked to participation and athlete-support initiatives.
  • The Discover Sport Foundation helps athletes access opportunities.

Rewards availability varies by market and configuration.

How the ecosystem works

Every upload feeds the whole loop.

Content, audiences and opportunity reinforce each other — the more the ecosystem is used, the more there is to discover.

  1. 1

    Create

    Athletes, clubs, federations and media partners create or distribute content.

  2. 2

    Discover

    Audiences discover sporting content, talent and competitions.

  3. 3

    Connect

    Profiles, following, viewing and engagement build communities.

  4. 4

    Open doors

    Visibility can create opportunities for scouting, sponsorship, partnerships and commercialisation.

  5. 5

    Attract

    Participation and relevant content attract further audiences and partners.

↺ And back to step 1 — new audiences bring new creators.

Visibility creates possibilities, not guarantees — scouting, sponsorship and revenue outcomes depend on each case.
