Streaming Global Sports to the World: A New Era With Eurovision Sport

30/10/2024

As a lifelong sports enthusiast from the U.S., I've always been captivated by how sports can unite people. From the roar of the crowd during major events to the electric atmosphere of championship matches, sports offer an unparalleled experience that transcends borders. The energy, excitement, and community that sports create are universal, and that's what makes this moment in time particularly special. We're witnessing a transformation in how fans engage with their favorite teams and athletes, especially with the rise of global streaming services.

At the same time, Europe remains a powerhouse in its own right, boasting iconic sports events that have captivated fans for decades. From the UEFA Champions League to the Tour de France and Wimbledon, European sports culture is rich with tradition, history, and some of the most passionate fans in the world.

It's against this backdrop that NAGRA Sport is proud to be partnering with the European Broadcasting Union as they lead the way with Eurovision Sport-a groundbreaking direct-to-consumer (D2C) sports streaming service designed to revolutionize the way sports are consumed and experienced worldwide. So we're excited to share that the Eurovision Sport App that is filled with top-class sports events from 30+ sports organizations is nominated for best New Platform at the forthcoming SportsPro OTT Awards.

The Evolution of Sports Streaming Digital transformation has impacted nearly every aspect of life, and sports are no exception. Gone are the days when fans were limited to watching games on television or listening to live commentary on the radio. Today, sports fans demand seamless access to live events on their mobile devices, tablets, and laptops, anywhere and anytime. This expectation has fueled the rise of sports streaming services, and Eurovision Sport is at the forefront of this change.

Launched as a joint effort between NAGRA Sport, and the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), Eurovision Sport brings together the best of European and global sports in one accessible platform. As the go-to streaming hub for free-to-air sporting events, Eurovision Sport offers fans the convenience of digital access to major sports while preserving the high-quality experience associated with public service media.

What Makes Eurovision Sport Unique? Eurovision Sport is more than just another sports streaming platform. It's a comprehensive, easy-to-navigate service designed to connect fans with the sporting events they care about most, free of charge. With multiple sport categories, the platform covers a wide array of events-from soccer and rugby to athletics and cycling.

For sports federations and organizations, Eurovision Sport offers dedicated portals that can be embedded directly into their website as well as those of EBU members to maximize reach. This makes it easy for fans to dive deep into their favorite sports. Whether you're following a major league or a niche sporting event, Eurovision Sport provides an immersive experience that caters to fans' specific needs and interests. One of the platform's standout features is its minute-by-minute rights management, which ensures fans can tune into live events with precision.

What's more, the service is available globally, making it a true game-changer for sports fans outside Europe who want to experience the thrill of European sports culture. And with support for both Android and iOS, as well as web and mobile web platforms, fans can engage with their favorite sports wherever they are.

A Commitment to Free-to-Air and Innovation One of the core missions of Eurovision Sport is to uphold the free-to-air philosophy that is central to European public broadcasters. Supported by advertising, sponsorships, and Free Ad-Supported Television (FAST) channels, Eurovision Sport ensures that sports injuries remain accessible to everyone. This commitment aligns with the EBU's vision of providing public service media that brings the world's best sporting events to audiences without barriers.

Noel Curran, Director General of the EBU, summed up the platform's ethos perfectly:

We firmly believe that sport should be for all. Our public service media Members already bring many of the world's leading sporting events to audiences free-to-air and now, thanks to our partnership with NAGRAVISION, this new digital platform will mean fans never have to miss a minute of their favorite events.

Elevating the Sports Experience As a partner in this project, NAGRAVISION is responsible for the technical operations of Eurovision Sport, ensuring that the platform delivers a smooth and engaging experience for its users. NAGRA Sport, a dedicated unit within NAGRAVISION, manages both content and user operations, supporting the platform's capacity to offer thousands of hours of sports content.

The partnership between NAGRA Sport and the EBU is a perfect example of how innovation in media technology is elevating the sports experience. By combining our expertise in content protection and media solutions with the EBU's extensive network and reach, Eurovision Sport is well-positioned to become a cornerstone of sports broadcasting in the digital age.

Joining in on the Excitement As someone who grew up immersed in the world of American sports, I've found myself increasingly captivated by European sports in recent years. The passion, the history, and the community that European sports foster are unmatched. There's something special about watching a UEFA Champions League final or the intensity of a rugby match in the Six Nations Championship.

I believe that Eurovision Sport offers a new gateway for fans like me, providing access to the events that define European sports culture. Whether you're in Europe or watching from across the Atlantic, Eurovision Sport makes it possible
