Buzzer, the short-form video content sports app, has entered into an agreement with ATP Media, the media arm of the top men’s tennis tour, to distribute live match content.
The deal, announced today (October 31), will see live ‘look ins’ of key moments from ATP Masters 1000, ATP 500, and ATP 250 matches made available on Buzzer via micropayments.
Buzzer users will be able to receive real-time notifications as the look ins go live.
ATP Media is the latest in a number recent deals struck by Buzzer, including a content and betting partnership with FanDuel, a distribution deal with DAZN, and renewals with US basketball’s NBA and WNBA.
The app says partnerships will be announced in the coming months and is building out its product and feature set.
In June, it was reported that Buzzer had reduced its workforce by 20% and was seeking to raise $20 million in additional funding to continue its expansion.
