Our Story

SportsBubble was founded by sports media pioneer, Lydia Murphy-Stephans, after it took her way too long to connect-to-watch to a major sports event on her tablet. The multi-step, time-consuming process was an epiphany moment for the sports media executive.

Lydia knew the experience she had when trying to watch a live sports event on a mobile device was a big consumer and business issue. As a serial problem-solver and entrepreneur, she was determined to make it simpler for everyone to discover, access and engage with sports.

During the company’s nascent Research & Development stage, Lydia consulted with sports, media and technology experts to help shape a solution for both consumers and businesses. Chris Fehring, a former colleague and software engineer, was one of them. Chris joined SportsBubble as co-founder in 2020 and helped Lydia create the WatchSports App, SportsBubble’s first product.
