Beyond the Live Event: How Sports Content Is Expanding Fan Engagement

12 Sept 2026
IBC Content Everywhere Stage 1

Live rights remain central to the value of sports media, but audiences are increasingly engaging with content outside live match windows. Documentary series, behind-the-scenes access, short-form social content, creator collaborations and athlete-led media are creating new routes into sport for younger and international audiences. This session examines how sports organisations and clubs are extending the lifecycle of their content, building year-round engagement and creating new commercial opportunities around sponsorship, distribution and fan growth.
