DBL Partners with Genius Sports for Live Streaming and Data Platform

Dutch Basketball League (DBL) has partnered with Genius Sports to launch its first live streaming and data platform.

As per the deal, Genius Sports’ automated streaming and production service, GeniusLive, will be implemented in all nine DBL venues, starting this season. Genius Sports will also provide its leading live data collection and competition management solutions to DBL.

“This exclusive and long-term agreement with Genius Sports is pivotal to us. As an up-and-coming league, we really value their approach, counselling and passion for basketball. Their cutting-edge, but affordable, technology allows the DBL to punch well above its weight given our limited resources. We look forward to a long and fruitful relationship,” Ramses Braakman, Chairman of the Dutch Basketball League said.

“Our partnership with the DBL represents a pivotal moment for Genius Sports and our mission to continue driving the digital development of world basketball through live data and video. FIBA LiveStats and FIBA Organizer are already used by leagues and federations in over 150 countries globally and each one of these partners, like the DBL, can now benefit from high-quality, cost-effective streaming technology,” Romain Vez, Head of Basketball at Genius Sports said.
