We're excited to share that LIGR Live has been selected as one of five finalists for the SportsInnovation Startup Award — one of the most prestigious recognition programmes in global sports technology.

The award ceremony takes place at the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf, where each finalist will take the stage to present their vision for the future of sport to an expert panel of industry leaders.

Five startups were selected from a highly competitive field of submissions, each representing a bold step forward in sports innovation: bfan, GAMECODE.Ai, LIGR Live, OneCourt, and Sportlight Technology.

Each finalist will pitch live on stage to a jury of senior figures from across the global sports industry, including representatives from DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga, SportsPro, EPIX Sports, Vetted Sports, AO Ventures, and the National Hockey League (NHL).

Being named a finalist is a reflection of the work the LIGR team has put into building technology that genuinely moves the needle for sports broadcasters and rights holders around the world. We're proud to be recognised alongside such strong companies and look forward to taking the stage in Düsseldorf.

LIGR is a cloud-native broadcast graphics overlay platform for live sports. The platform enables automated, zero-operator production across football, cricket, basketball, tennis, rugby league and more — powering 4,000+ matches annually for organisations including Football Australia, DAZN, Tennis Australia, the AFL, and the QRL.
