This will include the upcoming seasons of Mexico’s Liga MX and Europe’s elite UEFA Champions League, among others, for broadcasting television network TUDN.
WSC Sports’ technology will be used to analyze games in real-time, clip highlights of all matches, and create both short and long-form content.
The content generated will be distributed among TelevisaUnivision’s digital outlets including over-the-top (OTT) service ViX, along with its digital and social media platforms.
The tie-up between the two parties began during soccer's 2022 FIFA World Cup when TelevisaUnivision utilized WSC Sports’ technology.
