Eyecons

What Eyecons does

Eyecons is a Dutch over-the-top (OTT) sports streaming platform headquartered in Amsterdam and founded in 2016. The platform aggregates and broadcasts live matches, highlights, interviews, summaries, and short-form documentaries across more than 20 sports disciplines, with a particular focus on Dutch amateur and semi-professional competitions that are typically underserved by major broadcasters. Coverage spans korfbal, handball, volleyball, field hockey, water polo, football (including Tweede Divisie), rugby, basketball, cycling, judo, beach volleyball, baseball, darts, and others, with dedicated channel categories for each sport featuring content from named clubs and federations.

The platform operates as a self-service, product-led infrastructure that allows sports clubs, leagues, and national federations to create and manage their own branded streaming channels without deep technical expertise. Eyecons is accessible via responsive web, native iOS, native Android, and supports Chromecast/AirPlay casting for TV viewing. Revenue is generated primarily through consumer-facing subscriptions for premium content (e.g., €59.99/year or €8.99/month for Tweede Divisie football), with a freemium layer for non-premium content. The company serves two primary customer segments: end-consumer sports fans and sports organizations (clubs, federations, competition organizers) seeking to monetize and extend the reach of their content.

In October 2025, Eyecons was acquired by Stockholm-based Sportway Media Group, an AI-powered sports broadcasting company that raised approximately €20 million in June 2026 at a ~€92 million post-money valuation. Following the acquisition, Eyecons operates as part of Sportway's broader portfolio alongside the French platform Sportall, positioning the combined group for multi-country expansion of sports content and data management services.

Direct peers

• FloSports: US-based subscription streaming platform dedicated to niche and underserved sports (wrestling, volleyball, hockey, cycling). Closely mirrors Eyecons' model of aggregating under-broadcast sports content behind a paid subscription and is the most directly comparable business model in the OTT sports niche.
• DAZN: Global sports OTT subscription service offering live and on-demand streaming of sports to consumers. Operates the same direct-to-consumer subscription model as Eyecons and competes for the same sports-viewer wallet share, though at a significantly larger scale and broader sport coverage.
• Sportall: Paris-based sports OTT platform serving French amateur and professional sports federations; co-acquired by Sportway Media Group alongside Eyecons in October 2025. Operates an identical federation-channel and subscription model in a different geography, making it the closest country-level parallel to Eyecons.

Broad incumbents

• ESPN+: Disney-owned subscription streaming service with deep sports content including college, international, and combat sports. Overlaps with Eyecons on sports-OTT consumer value proposition but at vastly larger scale and broader US-centric content library.
• Eurosport / Discovery+: Pan-European sports broadcaster with streaming via Discovery+, owned by Warner Bros. Discovery. Covers mainstream European sports via subscription and competes for the same European amateur/regional sports viewer pool that Eyecons targets in the Netherlands.

Emerging players

• Fanatiz: Sports streaming service focused on Latin American and niche soccer/rugby content. Comparable to Eyecons in targeting regional and under-served sports content through direct subscription, though operating in different geographies.
• OneFootball: Football-focused media platform distributing live matches, highlights, and news to football fans globally. Operates a content aggregation and streaming model across multiple distribution channels (apps and partners) comparable to Eyecons' club/federation aggregation playbook.

Regional players

• Ziggo Sport: Dutch pay-television sports channel carried via Ziggo's cable subscription, specifically serving the Netherlands market. Already appears in Eyecons' content (clipping summaries are published), making it an incumbent competitor for Dutch sports viewership and federation relationships in the same geographic footprint.
