Hybrid sports expands to new US markets with Webex

Webex brings sports to more fans in Boston, Chicago, Washington DC, Philadelphia, and Sacramento

Collaboration technology, like Webex, has been critical to keep businesses, people, and sports fans connected for nearly two years now. We started earlier this year, bringing fans closer to their favorites, such as McLaren Racing, PGA Golf Australia, German pro cycling team, Team DSM, and NBC Bay Area Sports during the pandemic lockdown.

Announcing hybrid sports to five new markets

Today, I couldn’t be more excited to announced that we’re extending Webex integrations with the world of hybrid sports to five new markets! Now fans can get in on the action with game highlights, player-to-audience interaction, and promos surrounding their favorite teams and athletes. Webex is now the official video-conferencing technology partner for NBC Sports regional coverage of the Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks, Chicago White Sox, Washington Wizards, Washington Capitals, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Phillies, and the Sacramento Kings.

Even with sports arenas filling back up, the Webex integration and partnership with NBC sports gives fans new, more immersive experiences, let’s them engage within their communities, and feel connected to their favorite sports teams and heroes.
