With the men’s FIFA World Cup kicking off yesterday, we thought there was no better time to unveil our June Signal, which is also FEED’s 2026 sports special.
In this month’s content drop, we’re exploring the innovations transforming how fans watch, play and engage with sport.
First, we’re digging into the rise of augmented reality and how it’s elevating sports broadcasting, bringing audiences closer to the action than ever before. We then delve into the latest sports gamification trends and highlight the must-try apps turning passive viewers into active participants.
Finally, we sit down with Reading FC’s new head of AI to discuss one of the most significant appointments in UK football, and what it signals for the future of the sport.
Whether you’re a sports fanatic, tech enthusiast or simply curious about what’s next, there’s plenty to get stuck into.
