eSports.cz, s.r.o. is a privately held Czech digital-services firm founded in 2001 in Plzeň that builds and operates the web, data, e-commerce and mobile technology stack for sports organizations. Its proprietary portfolio includes responsive club websites, federations/leagues sports portals, the Klubový informační systém (KIS) for club administration, real-time statistical systems, custom e-commerce platforms, photo banks and custom iOS/Android/PWA mobile applications, complemented by its flagship content portal Onlajny.com delivering live-text broadcasts and sports news across 42 sports in 20 countries.

The firm runs a sales-led and event-driven B2B go-to-market with dedicated account and project managers, quote-based custom pricing under multi-year contracts, and direct client relationships with major Czech clubs and federations such as SK Slavia Praha, HC Sparta Praha, FC Viktoria Plzeň, Český hokej (Czech Ice Hockey Association), FAČR, Chance Liga and the Czech Olympic Committee.
