The news: PubMatic launched an AI-powered Live Sports Marketplace designed to make live sports inventory more accessible, responsive, and valuable for programmatic buyers.
The platform continuously scans real-time game activity and viewership behavior, pinpointing high-engagement moments—such as a dramatic final possession in an NBA game or a tense MLB ninth inning—and uses those signals to optimize ad delivery timing.
The marketplace is supported by a slate of high-profile partners, including FanServ (representing leagues like the NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, and the National Women’s Soccer League) as well as publishers and platforms such as MLB, FuboTV, DirecTV, Spectrum Reach, and Roku.
