Sportradar to support Israeli basketball league OTT service

Israel’s Basketball Super League has launched a new OTT streaming service in partnership with sports media and data provider Sportradar.

The new service will offer coverage of every game from the competition – known as the Winner League – on an on-demand basis, as well as highlights, key plays and exclusive content that will be produced by the league and its teams.

For the first season, live matches via WinnerLeague.tv will only be available for users outside of Israel for €4.99 ($5.71) per month. All other OTT content will be available worldwide, including Israel, and will be free of charge.

WinnerLeague.TV has become the latest of more than two-dozen partners to sign up Sportradar for OTT support within the last 18 months. Other partners include German Bundesliga football club Borussia Dortmund, the World Rally Championship and the International Table Tennis Federation.

“When we launched our new OTT offering, I said it was crucial to have data and video together if you wanted to offer clients an OTT solution in this technological day and age,” Sportradar’s OTT managing director, Rainer Geier, said. “That has been borne out by our partnership with the Basketball Super League on their new OTT platform.”
