Livestreaming is an excellent way for sports facilities to showcase events, increase community engagement, and add value for participants and spectators. Whether you manage a multi-field complex, an indoor sports center, or a swimming pool, maximizing your live streaming potential can make a world of difference in how your facility is perceived and utilized.
Here are five pro tips to help you optimize your livestreaming capabilities and enhance your facility’s reputation:
1. Leverage Livestream Analytics to Understand Audience Behavior
After each event, dive into the data to see how your livestreams perform. With SportsEngine Play, facilities can access comprehensive Livestream History and Analytics reports, providing insights on viewer counts, engagement rates, and top moments. This data helps you determine the types of events that attract the most viewers and identify opportunities to expand your offerings.

A key benefit of livestreaming for facilities is reaching a larger audience beyond the physical space.

Sharing your livestreams boosts visibility and can create new revenue opportunities through event-based advertising or paid access.
