Spotlighting Tomorrow’s Leaders: Sports & Entertainment Startups to Follow Report Coming In 2026
LaSource is proud to announce the launch of the 4th edition of the Sports & Entertainment Startups to Follow Report, our yearly flagship publication dedicated to the most promising startups shaping the future of sports and entertainment.
Since 2023, this report has become a cornerstone of our mission: helping sports and entertainment organisations navigate a fast-moving technology landscape and connect with the companies solving the industry’s most pressing challenges.
Participation in the report is fully free of cost for all applying startups.
What is the Sports & Entertainment Startups to Follow Report?
Over its last three editions, the report has established itself as a trusted reference for innovation, reaching thousands of industry professionals and generating over 2,000 downloads worldwide.
Being featured provides startups with global visibility among leading rights holders, investors, federations, and partners actively searching for high-impact solutions. Beyond exposure, the Sports & Entertainment Startups to Follow Report helps founders build credibility, unlock new collaborations, and position their product at the heart of the sports and entertainment innovation ecosystem.
As in previous editions, startups will be evaluated and classified into two main categories reflecting the operational and performance needs of sports and entertainment organisations:
On-pitch: performance, health, data, and training technologies.
Off-pitch: fan engagement, media, operations, commercial, and organisational solutions.
