This summer will be bursting with major sports events, from FIBA Basketball Olympic Qualifying Tournaments, UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, and Copa América 2025 to Wimbledon, Tour de France, World Swimming Championships, and Formula 1 Races—and with every kick, goal, sprint, stroke and story, the pressure’s on for broadcasters to deliver fast, engaging coverage across every platform.

Octopus Newsroom gives sports teams the tools to stay ahead of the game—literally. Whether you’re courtside, pitch-side, or at the anchor desk, our story-centric system helps everyone stay connected, agile, and focused on what really matters: the story.

Smart Tools for Fast-Paced Newsrooms

Speed doesn’t mean sacrificing accuracy. Our AI-assisted features help you move quickly while staying sharp:
