DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Teamworks, the Operating System for Sports powering more than 6,500 elite sports teams globally, today announced a strategic partnership with ESPN to provide the network's research team with access to its Coaching and Scouting platform. The collaboration will enhance ESPN's college football coverage by delivering cutting-edge data, with the potential for implementation across ESPN's platforms throughout the season.
The partnership centers on ESPN's use of Teamworks Coaching and Scouting technology, formerly Telemetry Sports, which combines computer vision, player tracking analytics, and machine learning to transform how elite sports organizations evaluate player performance and prepare for competition.
"Our platform was built with a deep understanding of how coaches and personnel executives evaluate talent and prepare for competition," said Jeremy Hochstedler, Founder of Telemetry Sports and GM of Coaching at Teamworks. "ESPN's research team will now have the same strategic insights that help elite programs make critical decisions about player evaluation and game planning."
ESPN's research team will have access to Teamworks Coaching and Scouting platform's comprehensive suite of analytical tools, including:
- Advanced Player Tracking: Real-time and historical performance metrics that provide deeper context for player evaluation and game analysis
- Game Planning Analytics: Strategic analysis tools that reveal key tactical patterns and identify trends
- Predictive Intelligence: Machine learning and AI-powered insights that identify optimal match-ups and provide decision-making recommendations
Teamworks acquired Telemetry Sports as part of its strategic entry into the coaching space, marking a significant expansion of the company's technology, data, and analytics expertise. The acquisition brought together Teamworks' comprehensive sports operations platform-which powers 100% of NFL teams and 99% of Division I institutions-with Telemetry's specialized coaching and scouting technology to create an integrated solution for elite sports organizations.
The partnership launches in time for the upcoming college football season. For more information please visit https://teamworks.com/blog/espn-partnership.
