2026 review – Where is Rematch.tv today in terms of activity, users and partnerships? What figures or trends illustrate the development of the platform since its creation?
In 2026, Rematch has reached an important milestone. After a construction and product validation phase, the platform enters into a dynamic of change of scale. It currently relies on significant volumes, 6 million videos captured and a billion cumulative views, as well as a solid network of clubs, federations and partners.
Rematch now collaborates with around ten federations, including the FFF, the FFHandball, the FFBB and the FFR. The platform also works with brands like TotalEnergies, Nike, Crédit Agricole or beIN SPORTS, and is expanding internationally with already dozens of clubs in the United States, such as Lonestar SC.
Since its creation, Rematch has also contributed directly to the financing of amateur sport, with more than €500,000 redistributed to clubs and videographers since 2021.
– How does Rematch.tv now fit into the French sporting landscape? Has your ambition to promote amateur sport evolved?
Rematch positions itself as Iand average sports video “ the basis“ that’s to say tall matches invisible to the general public, i.e. 95% of sporting events. The platform responds to a simple observation: the vast majority of sporting activity in the world is at this level, but remains very little visible and little valued.
The ambition has therefore evolved. It is no longer just a matter of capturing strong pointsbut to give amateur sport the codes, visibility and tools of professional sport, on a large scale, in France and internationally.
– Can you specify how the platform combines fan-generated content and commercial promotion, particularly via partner brands or federations?
The Rematch model is based on an integrated logic between content, usage and revenue. The videos are generated directly from the field by the rematchers (volunteers or supporters) then automatically transformed and distributed.
Partnerships with federations and brands play a structuring role. They make it possible to finance the model, activate the production of content and amplify its distribution.
A strong specificity of Rematch is the redistribution of a significant part of this value: 50% of revenues from sponsorship are donated to videographers and amateur clubs. This model has already made it possible to redistribute more than €500,000 since 2021, strengthening the commitment of the entire ecosystem.
– What types of partnerships have you developed with sports federations or regional media, and how do these collaborations contribute to amplifying the visibility of amateur sport?
Rematch develops partnerships on several levels. Sports federations and leagues constitute essential relays for structuring and deploying use on a large scale. Brands reinforce these systems by providing means of activation, visibility and financing. Finally, the clubs are at the heart of the model, since they produce content on a daily basis.
These collaborations allow natural integration into existing ecosystems and contribute to transforming each field into a space for dissemination and promotion, greatly increasing the visibility of amateur sport.
– You are positioned as a sports tech, what technological advances or recent innovations have marked Rematch.tv (algorithms, clip automation, new features)?
Rematch stands out for its technological approach focused on the simplification and automation of video production. The application makes it easy to capture actions, automatically generate highlights, edit and dress them, then broadcast them instantly.
Innovation is based on the ability to make this chain fluid and accessible to all, without technical expertise, which makes it possible to deploy the solution on a large scale, including in very heterogeneous amateur environments.
– How do you measure the impact of Rematch on clubs and licensees? Have you observed an evolution in uses or engagement around amateur videos?
Rematch’s impact is measured by the evolution of uses and its direct contribution to the ecosystem. The platform is seeing a continued increase in the volume of content, growing adoption by clubs and increased engagement around videos.
Practices have evolved: amateur video is becoming a tool for communication, visibility and revenue generation. The redistribution of part of the sponsorship income makes it possible to concretely support clubs and videographers, strengthening the dynamics of grassroots sport.
– What are your priorities for the coming months, in France and internationally? New markets, formats or partnerships in sight?
The coming months mark a key stage with the acceleration of international development. The objective is to gradually deploy a reproducible model, relying on structuring partnerships in different markets, as was initiated in the United States.
Rematch intends to continue to connect the recording, broadcasting and financing of amateur sport on a global scale. The ambition is to become the universal reflex for capturing and disseminating amateur sport, while creating a sustainable model of redistribution of value for those involved in the field.

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
