Adidas AG (ADR) (OTC:ADDYY) and Twitter have joined forces to livestream top-tier high school football games on the social media platform.
An eight-game series aptly named "Friday Night Stripes" will feature nationally ranked teams from California, Nevada, Indiana, Georgia and Florida and is set to kickoff Sept. 7.
ESPN’s Courtney Lyle and former Green Bay Packer A.J. Hawk will announce the games, while YouTube personality Cameron “Scooter” Magruder will serve as the sideline reporter.
Why It's Important
Livestreaming is the next frontier for youth sports. The partnership announced Tuesday marks a major opportunity for Adidas and Twitter to bring key high school matchups to a wider audience.
“High school football fans view Twitter as an indispensable tool to follow what's happening — whether it’s the national recruiting stage or their local communities, every Friday night, we see players, teams, coaches, alumni and fans embrace this passionate culture,” Andrew Barge, Twitter's head of sports broadcast partnerships, said in a statement.
“We're thrilled to partner with adidas and Intersport to help fulfill this massive and untapped opportunity. Both have established credibility as creators in the high school sports arena, and with Twitter's engaged audience, we're excited to deliver eight live games that celebrate the unique, community-based passion for high school football on a national level."
