Our take
Gen Z prefers short-form highlights content to full sports league matches, and tight NBA licensing restrictions mean that independent content platforms can’t trim matches to cater to this younger audience. Overtime saw this problem and turned it into a market opportunity.
It has built a short-form content empire around unlicensed amateur sports leagues, with a focus on basketball. It has a substantial multi-platform presence across social media, featuring reality-TV-style dispatches and shows focused on up-and-coming players with strong viral potential.
The brand now has over 100M followers, most of them Gen Z or younger Millennials, and its videos rack up well over 3B views each month. This brings in substantial ad revenue for Overtime, supplemented with merchandise sales. It has also recently ventured into the NFT space with its partnership with Magic Eden.
The company has also launched its own youth basketball league and pulled in high-profile backers including Jeff Bezos, Drake, and Kevin Durant, which is remarkable progress for the still relatively young company. With a comfortable and unchallenged position in this niche, Overtime looks set to continue building out a leading platform.
