Herman Narula, CEO of Improbable, declared: “This new season of the partnership between MLB and Improbable demonstrates the role that virtual and immersive environments will play in the evolution of sports rights: they revolutionize the fan experience in a world where less than 1% of a team’s fans have the opportunity to attend a live match in the stadium. Our worlds offer a different, more social, immersive, gamified, and interactive experience. With Web3 and sports prioritizing community and engagement, fans can now participate directly in their favorite sports by owning digital assets representing moments, memorabilia, or even team stakes. This deepens the connection between leagues and their audiences by offering transparency, security, and new ways to engage, also allowing leagues and clubs to reach a different, younger audience that wants to follow their sport in a new way.”
