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.

ESPN Edge works with Microsoft to reimagine how fans experience sports. Built on Microsoft Azure and Azure AI, the collaboration has expanded personalization and accessibility across ESPN's platforms, including real-time closed captioning that brings live sports to more fans. Together, ESPN Edge and Microsoft continue to explore how cloud and AI can deepen the connection between fans and the moments they care about most.

Working with ESPN Edge, Meta is building live, immersive sports viewing for Meta VR. Fans get 180-degree front-row views of live games and highlights in 8K with Dolby Atmos. The collaboration starts with a selection of games from ESPN's college football slate for the 2026 season, culminates in the College Football Playoff, and expands through 2027. It's part of Meta's broader effort to reimagine how fans watch sports, using capabilities unique to VR to carry the energy of a live crowd to fans wherever they are. Additionally, the ESPN app is coming to Meta VR Glasses in 2027, giving fans access to ESPN's full programming lineup.

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.
