Online TV provider zeebox and sporting website Champion Data have joined to provide a range of services for users watching AFL.

The announcement:

zeebox has partnered with Champion Data to offer consumers the best AFL second screen experience available in Australia. A range of new, interactive widgets – including live scores, Team & Player stats, quarter by quarter updates and the ability to ‘update a mate’ on the score if they can’t watch the game – will be integrated into zeebox and made available to its growing 500k user base for all AFL games across free to air channels and Foxtel.

zeebox is recognised worldwide for its breakthrough second-screen app that has taken the UK, US and Australian markets by storm, while Champion Data are not only the official statisticians of the AFL, but also Australia’s leading provider of sport stats and data feeds.

Craig Blair CEO of zeebox Australia says: “Sports fans are a large and heavily engaged segment in zeebox. By offering live stats and allowing fans to share the experience while watching the live TV broadcast we are delivering the best-in-class, real time second screen experience to our AFL audience. Importantly, this partnership also allows our Brand Partners to deliver branded experiences to highly engaged Sports fans in zeebox which we can target by demographic, category or show.”
