?Short form video content has been a big hit. The proliferation of content across platforms has also sparked increased consumption of
additional sports content—both related to and not related to live matches

?As per a Nielsen report, the demand for content related to a live event (match announcements, highlights, recap videos, etc.) is almost as high as it is for digitally delivered events themselves.

?Non-live sports content has the power to attract new audiences to sports as well, particularly for Gen Z and platform like TikTok has done a great job with it, associating with a number of different sports properties across sports.
