Sports App Development Services We Offer

As a sports software development company, we build for every part of the game: the athletes who compete, the teams and leagues that organise them, and the fans who follow them. Our sports app developers design each product around how your sport works, from its seasons and user roles to its rules and match days.

Athlete Recruiting & Scouting Apps

Help coaches and recruiters find, compare and sign the right talent. We build searchable athlete profiles, video highlights, evaluation notes, shortlists, offers and roster tools in one workflow.

Athlete Profile & Sports Identity Platforms

Give every athlete one portable sporting identity. Profiles hold sport, position, level, stats, media and achievements, with role-based access for parents, coaches, recruiters and fans.

Team & League Management Apps

Run clubs, academies and leagues from one place. We build registration, rosters, scheduling, fixtures, results, payments and team messaging for organisers and players.

Fan Engagement & Live Score Apps

Keep fans coming back on match day and between games. Live scores, push alerts, polls, predictions, loyalty rewards, fan clubs and merchandise all live in one branded app.

Sports Streaming Apps

Deliver live and on-demand sport to any screen. We build streaming apps with secure playback, subscriptions and pay-per-view, highlights, and live stats beside the video.

Fitness & Performance Tracking Apps

Track training load, goals and progress for athletes and gyms, with wearable data from Apple HealthKit and Health Connect. See our fitness app development services.

SPORTS RECRUITING & IDENTITY

Athlete Recruiting & Sports Identity Platforms

Athlete profiles, highlight videos, evaluation notes, messages and roster decisions usually sit in different tools. We bring them into one product that coaches, recruiters, athletes and parents can all use.
What we build: searchable athlete profiles by sport, position, level, location and eligibility; video highlights, stats, skills and achievements; coach evaluations, shortlists and recruiting stages; offers, invites and real-time chat; events, tryouts and roster management; role-based access for athletes, parents, coaches, recruiters, referees and fans; and QR-enabled athlete IDs for check-in and fast profile sharing.
This is the same product thinking behind AthletesOnCall, Sport Me ID and Athletes Ave, and it suits US youth and college recruiting, academies and club scouting programs.

Fantasy Sports App Development

We build fantasy sports apps for daily, season-long and free-to-play contests. Users draft teams, join leagues, follow live scoring and climb leaderboards, while your team runs contests from an admin panel. Fantasy rules differ by US state and by country, so we plan the contest model and payments around the markets you launch in.

Team Builder

Salary caps and player rules.

Leagues & Contests

Public and private leagues, contests and invite codes.

Live Scoring

Official sports data feeds.

Leaderboards & Alerts

Leaderboards, prizes and push alerts.

Sports Betting App Development for Licensed Operators

We've built betting features for private sports clients, and we develop sportsbook apps for licensed operators. We only build betting products for licensed operators. In the US this means state-by-state licences, and in the UAE it means licensing under the GCGRA. We don't build betting products for Saudi Arabia.

Sports Apps for the US, GCC and Beyond

We build sports apps for clients across North America, the Middle East, the UK and Australia, from our offices in Austin, Dubai, Riyadh and London.

United States

In the US, most sports app demand comes from recruiting, college sport and fan engagement. We build recruiting and athlete identity platforms like AthletesOnCall and Sport Me ID, plus fantasy and licensed betting apps that follow state-by-state rules.

UAE & Saudi Arabia

Sport is growing fast across the Gulf, driven by Saudi Vision 2030, the Saudi Pro League and major events in Riyadh, Dubai and Abu Dhabi. We build Arabic and right-to-left sports apps for clubs, academies, leagues and fan platforms, with local payment gateways and data hosting in the region where needed. Projects are led from our Dubai and Riyadh offices.

UK, Australia & Global

Grassroots and semi-professional sport needs better ways to connect players, clubs and services. Athletes Ave, our sports networking app, was built for this market and covers more than 30 sports.
