Sony is the largest technology and media company in Japan with more than US$80B in revenue, with gaming and network services accounting for US$24B. Through its subsidiary Hawk-Eye Innovations, Sony Sports is exploring blockchain technology and its ability to connect fans with each other and their favourite teams in unprecedented ways.
“Sport Leagues worldwide are constantly looking for ways to increase viewership and connect deeper with fans,” said Adam De Cata, NFT Technologies Inc.

We’re excited to be joined by Sony as we pioneer unique blockchain use cases for the sporting and entertainment industry.”
Fantasy sports is a fast-growing industry. Over sixty million people play yearly – and experts expect the industry to be worth $50B a year by 2028. Hawk-Eye’s services are currently used in over 20 sports, and, apart from ball sports, they are being used in athletics, horse-racing, and even motorsports. Ball tracking has started to be used for strategy analysis and scouting, and multi-angle viewing for matches shown on television and in videos is also under consideration, making it clear that the possibilities for Hawk-Eye are growing.
