You're about to see more sports highlights pop up on Reddit Here’s why 👇 Professional sports leagues are among the most popular subreddits on the platform. With sports one of its most popular and fastest growing interest groups. Up 26% year over year. 🔥 And more than 1,000 communities. 🔥 So they’ve struck deals with major sports leagues, including the NFL, NBA, MLB and PGA Tour. The result? More game highlights, behind-the-scenes videos, and ‘ask me anything’, sessions with players. The NFL started testing this type of content during the 2023–2024 season. Featuring Pro Bowl players and the NFL’s schedule planners. The partnership will enhance the community experience on Reddit for sure. But it’ll also enable opportunities for advertisers. Companies such as FanDuel, Samsung, Ford, and Volkswagen have already taken that opportunity. It’s a great way for advertisers to align their brands to those communities and the content within them. Exciting times. 💪 P.S. Follow me (Chris Swadling) for more sports business content! #sportsbiz #sportstech
