Accenture is an Innovation and Founding Consulting Partner with ESPN Edge since 2021, combining top design and leading-edge vision with technology and industry expertise to create game-changing experiences. The collaboration has centered on initiatives that enhance live sports broadcasting, create high-end consumer facing products, and develop the future of sports fan engagement.

In its endeavor to redefine fan experiences, ESPN Edge partnered with Microsoft to leverage cutting-edge technologies. Microsoft's Azure became the cornerstone of this innovative initiative, driving an increase in personalization, accessibility, and efficiency. Azure's instrumental role in drastically reducing transcription costs and introducing real-time closed captioning has set a new standard in sports media. Through this collaboration, ESPN Edge and Microsoft continue to push boundaries, using cloud technology to amplify the richness of ESPN's offerings and provide fans with a unique, immersive viewing experience.

In collaboration with ESPN Edge, Meta is focused on bringing an ESPN-branded virtual reality (VR) sports experience to Meta Quest. Immersive VR sports highlights are available in the free Xtadium app on Meta Quest and via an immersive ESPN-branded experience in Meta Horizon Worlds.

As an official ESPN Edge Innovation Partner, WSC Sports powers personalized video experiences across ESPN’s platforms, including the enhanced ESPN App. Its technology automatically scales highlights from live games, press conferences, interviews, and studio programming. These moments fuel personalized feeds such as Verts and SportsCenter For You, ensuring fans receive timely, relevant content wherever they engage, helping ESPN deliver a richer, more personalized fan experience every day.
