Background
Eurovision Sport is the European Broadcasting Union's free streaming service for sport, launched in 2024 to keep major competitions accessible outside subscription paywalls. It manages media rights for 14 sports on behalf of EBU member broadcasters, streaming an estimated 43,000 hours a year through agreements with 28 international sports federations, complementing coverage carried by national public broadcasters.
The service is built on the same Eurovision brand used by the EBU's news and music exchanges, and it has been expanding onto free ad-supported streaming platforms in the UK during 2026 to widen reach beyond its own site and app. Its federation partnerships extend to newer formats such as labelled AI-generated commentary.
For a B2B audience selling video and AI tooling into sport, Eurovision Sport is a route to market: a pan-European, free-to-air platform whose federation partners are experimenting with AI production tools while keeping disclosure requirements in place.
