Sport

We connect people to sport and sport to the people

About

We believe sport is for everyone and not just for the privileged few. That’s why we endeavour to keep the best sporting events free to all - everywhere, on every platform.

By combining the collective strength of our Members, we negotiate global sport content for the benefit of all stakeholders. We can do this because we are a Union first and foremost. That means we are driven by the aspirations and ambitions of our Members, not purely commercial goals. For sports federations we harness that strength to nurture and grow a sport. We see the bigger picture and balance the needs of visibility while maximizing revenue.
