BT Sport agrees deal for weekly results show to be streamed live via Twitter

August 18, 2017

BT Sport Score, the football results show, will be available to anyone using Twitter in the UK, following an agreement between the sports broadcaster and Twitter for it to be live streamed on the social media platform.

The agreement allows Twitter’s millions of UK users to sample a key highlight of BT Sport’s weekend line-up at no cost – providing potential subscribers an opportunity to sample the broadcaster’s approach.

It is the latest move by BT Sport aimed at making its content available as widely as possible: BT made last season’s UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League finals available for free to as many people as possible, on YouTube, the BT Sport website, BT Sport channels and the app, underlining BT’s commitment to make televised sport more accessible to fans.

The show will be streamed via @btsportscore on Twitter each Saturday afternoon. BT Sport Score will still be broadcast on BT Sport channels every week. The programme keeps viewers up to date with the action from all the matches taking place across the UK.

Simon Green, Head of BT Sport, said: “We’re delighted to be showing BT Sport Score live on Twitter. This provides Twitter users a great chance to sample our strong programming, who will be able to watch football news and scores as they come in, whether they are at home or on the move. Innovation is at the heart of BT and we look forward to working with Twitter.”

Theo Luke, Director of EMEA Sports Partnerships, Twitter, said: “BT Sport’s innovative approach continues to transform the experience for fans on Twitter, a place where football conversation is happening live in real time every day. We’re extremely excited to collaborate with them to ensure fans on Twitter don’t miss a moment of the Saturday afternoon action.”
