Twitch adds sports category, Real Madrid and Arsenal join

Twitch TV originally started as a streaming platform entirely dedicated to gaming and esports. As time has passed, the platform has progressed beyond its initial framework and is now a popular hub for talkshows, podcasts, and hobbyists. Its newest addition? Sports!

While sports content has been part of the larger Twitch ecosystem for a while, this is the first time we see the platform go for a dedicated push. The addition of a completely new category, ‘Sports’, will be showcased with content created by some of the worlds most renowned football clubs. Arsenal, Juventus, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-German will all provide a variety of content.
