AI-powered sports media company ScorePlay has secured $13 million in Series A funding to expand its platform, which streamlines sports highlights and storytelling through artificial intelligence. The funding round includes contributions from prominent investors such as Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, former Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg, and soccer icon Alex Morgan. The investment marks a significant step for the company as it continues to grow within the sports media landscape.
Founded in 2021 by Victorien Tixier and Xavier Green, ScorePlay has rapidly gained traction among professional sports organizations, with over 200 teams and leagues using its AI-driven technology. The platform automatically tags and organizes video content, making it easier for teams, leagues, and athletes to distribute highlights efficiently. Clients include major NBA and NHL franchises, as well as leagues such as Major League Soccer and the National Women’s Soccer League.
The latest investment underscores the growing demand for AI-powered media tools in sports, where real-time content distribution is crucial. As teams and athletes increasingly look to control their own media narratives, ScorePlay provides an essential service for engaging fans across multiple platforms. The ability to quickly process and share game highlights gives teams a competitive edge in the fast-paced world of sports media.
Ohanian, a key investor in ScorePlay, has integrated the technology into his own sports ventures, including NWSL soccer and TGL golf teams. His continued financial backing highlights confidence in ScorePlay’s potential as a transformative force in sports media. Other investors, including venture capitalist Harry Stebbings, emphasize the importance of instant content sharing, which allows teams to keep pace with modern digital consumption habits.
With the new funding, ScorePlay plans to expand its reach and enhance its AI capabilities, further improving content accessibility for athletes, teams, and media partners. The company reports threefold year-over-year growth and profitability, with total funding now at $20 million. Previous investors include sports figures such as Kevin Durant and Eli Manning, signaling strong industry support for the platform’s continued development and innovation.
