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 an exceptional fusion of technology and sports entertainment, ESPN Edge and Verizon are harnessing the prowess of Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband and mobile edge compute to push the boundaries of fan experiences. The partnership is enabling groundbreaking features, from multi-angle game views to augmented reality-enhanced experiences, all aimed at transforming sports broadcasting. A recent testament to this innovative synergy is the launch of The Drop AR Mini Games with the NHL. These immersive games exemplify the power of this partnership, offering fans a new level of interactive engagement and augmenting the fan experience.
