Enghouse Networks has unveiled a sports-focused capability within its video platform, which is designed to help operators and broadcasters create sports viewing experiences that extend engagement beyond the live match.
The capability, named Enghouse Sports Hub, reportedly combines premium streaming with live sports data, personalised notifications, team and competition tracking, match timelines, statistics, and highlights, bringing together content discovery and fan engagement within a single user experience across TV, mobile, and connected devices. Rather than focusing solely on video delivery, Sports Hub enables operators to create a richer sports destination that encourages fans to engage more frequently and for longer.
Preliminary operator trials are now underway, with early customer feedback helping refine the user experience ahead of broader commercial availability.
“Sports viewing has evolved beyond the live broadcast. Fans expect immediate access to statistics, updates, highlights and personalised content wherever they are,” said Mick McCluskey, Vice President (VP), Product Management, Enghouse Networks. “Sports Hub enables operators and broadcasters to create a more engaging destination for fans while strengthening subscriber loyalty and creating new opportunities for service differentiation.”
Sports Hub will be demonstrated at IBC2026 on the Enghouse Networks stand (Hall 5, Stand B23), where visitors can experience live demonstrations and see how operators and broadcasters can deliver richer digital sports experiences.
