About Us

SportsBubble is a sports technology company offering software and services for consumers and businesses.

We make it easy, fast and free for fans to access sports. And, help sports stakeholders deliver a better fan engagement experience.

In today’s streaming era, there are more than one million professional, minor league, college, high school, Olympic and esports events available for viewing each year on free and subscription-based services.

Managing the information related to sports events and positioning each event for easy discovery and access across platforms can be challenging, time consuming and expensive. And, in today’s content rich but fragmented sports media landscape, most consumers are either unaware of an event or, quite often, have difficulty accessing it on the device they’re using to watch.

That’s where SportsBubble comes in.

Our flagship product, WatchSports, is a live sports event programming guide with geo-targeted Where To Watch information and direct Connect To Watch service through partnerships with sports event owners, licensors and distributors.

For sports consumers, SportsBubble makes Discovery, Access and Engagement with sports easy, fast and friction-free.

For sports stakeholders, SportsBubble’s software offers efficient end-to-end management, marketing and monetization across platforms.

Our Story

SportsBubble was founded by sports media pioneer, Lydia Murphy-Stephans, after it took her way too long to search and then access a sports event to watch 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 consumers to discover, access and engage with sports. And, at the same time, provide sports event stakeholders with tools to help simplify the management of sports event information across platforms and grow engagement.

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 company’s WatchSports App and Sports Event Schedule Management System.
