Summer brought football into sharp focus for StreamAMG, with both June and July dominated by extensive coverage of pre-season football matches. The best-ever streaming performance achieved in June showcased the platform's resilience and excellence even during traditionally quiet periods for live events.

This success continued into July, where football took centre stage with captivating coverage of even more pre-season matches worldwide, totalling 716 streams and 2,506 hours. As anticipation built, August marked a pivotal moment for our company as it collaborated with an extended list of EFL club clients, gearing up for the highly awaited kick-off of the new season. The excitement extended to the National League, with the announcement of a newly extended deal for National League TV. This ground-breaking agreement saw us deliver for all three divisions of the National League, allowing us to deliver a full 36-game matchday for the first time. The collaboration and streaming support demonstrated our commitment to delivering high-quality football content across diverse leagues.

This international event, held across August and September, captured the attention of global audiences, showcasing our prowess in delivering high-stakes, high-quality sporting events.
