Genius Sports and the European Football League Form a Partnership

The European League of Football (ELF) and Genius Sports have officially partnered to share statistics and provide streaming services.

Genius Sports will have exclusive access to official data and streaming rights for the upcoming ELF season, which begins on June 3rd. Along with the CFL, NFL, XFL, and NCAA, the ELF is the latest American football partner. 

An American football league that does not play in North America but is professional is known as the ELF. As of the 2023 season, the league is made up of 17 teams from France, Hungary, Spain, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, and Germany.

Genius Sports, a sports data technology company that was founded in 2001 in London, will be able to offer its services to the ELF through this relationship. 

Official data and live video streams from the ELF games may now be captured, managed, and distributed exclusively through Genius Sports' network of regulated sportsbook partners. 

"Having Genius Sports as a new partner enables us to tap into new markets and offer our fans a broader range of products," said Zeljko Karajica, Managing Director of the ELF.

"We have discovered the ideal partner in Genius Sports, and data is becoming more and more important in American football." 

"Our sports data and insights technology will enable the ELF to expand the distribution and commercialization of their unique content around the world," stated Jonny Katanchian, Heads of Sports and Broadcast at Genius Sports.

"We're ecstatic to expand our already extensive American football lineup, giving our partners access to exclusive content all year round, regardless of the time zone they're in."
