Technology is evolving sports.
For the last three years, SportTechie has covered this evolution as virtual reality, eSports, wearables, digital media, player tracking sensors and dozens of other technologies have become embedded in the foundations of the global sports industry. Athletes today more closely resemble precisely engineered machines than the average person. Teams run on analytics and big data. Leagues are digital content factories. And the evolution has just begun.
With this sports technology paradigm shift in mind, it is with great excitement and honor that I am able to announce today a new partnership that SportTechie has formed with Sports Illustrated. Together we will shine a brighter spotlight on the technologies that are transforming sports.

This partnership will debut a “Tech & Media” multi-platform vertical on SI.com where SportTechie will produce daily content featuring the latest sports tech news, in-depth interviews and analysis of emerging trends. SportTechie will also work with SI on a range of content that will include new series spotlighting innovators from the sports and tech industries, and will be heavily integrated with social media. This new partnership will also reach more broadly across the SI Group with collaborations slated for The MMQB and other channels beginning this fall.
As a rising publication, we are thrilled to enter into this alliance with such a world-renowned brand to create content alongside SI’s award-winning journalists and further amplify the great work of our writers and the stories of the burgeoning sports technology space.
Ultimately, we feel this partnership further solidifies us as the global source for sports technology news and insights, and is an important step in our growth as a global media company.
