BBC Sport provides national sports coverage for BBC television, radio and online. The BBC holds television and radio broadcasting rights to several sports, broadcasting live sport alongside flagship analysis programmes such as Match of the Day, Test Match Special, Ski Sunday and Wimbledon. Results, analysis and coverage is also added to the BBC Sport Website and through the BBC Red Button, an interactive streaming television service.

All of the BBC Sport video content is now automatically added to supporters club Websites on the Follr platform.

Follr is constantly looking to add top quality sports content from fans, teams and commentators and sports organizations. Fan (user) generated content is particularly popular – we will continue announcing new content deals in future weeks.
