Quick Summary:  The popularity of the sports leagues has increased 
dramatically over the past few years. This can be attributed to various 
factors like technology, interest in the events, and a change in the mindset 
of the viewers.
All those who sat back and watched your fantasy sports team from the 
Earth’s remotest corners have one thing in common—they are all sports 
enthusiasts. There is an impressive amount of viewership that fantasy 
sports platforms have driven towards a league match and increased fan 
engagement.

If you are thinking of building a fantasy sports app, you might want to 
consider incorporating the following trends. Fantasy sports is on a high rise 
of being an actual sport in itself, and it has become an “upscale” hobby for 
entrepreneurs and investors who have invested in fantasy sports 
companies in the past.

Top Trends in 
Fantasy Sports App Developmen
t
AI in Sports Application: If you 
are planning to develop an 
application for fantasy sports, 
you can use Artificial Intelligence 
(AI) technology in it. It is 
essential for website owners to 
enhance user engagement by 
adding a personal touch.
4
Users often get frustrated if they are going through common features and 
options. The results are quite encouraging as compared to other forms of 
applications and games, which are highly responsive to AI tools.
One of the most important aspects of customer service is providing 
customers with an easy way to contact you. A good way to do this is by 
creating a chatbot for your fantasy sports website. Chatbots are used in 
many different ways and can help improve the services you provide to 
customers.
It can also assist users in developing risk-mitigation strategies by providing 
data-driven player recommendations.

AR and VR – Wearable App Integration: Augmented Reality (AR) and 
Virtual Reality (VR) are here, and both have become a growing 
industry. Instead of using just one virtual reality technology, you’ll want 
to combine both methods for the greatest results. The top reason for 
this is because these two technologies work well together. VR allows 
your users to fully immerse themselves into a simulation where they 
can interact with objects and move around freely.
6
While in VR mode, your user could be running a Bible study on what 
their favorite sports team does before every game. AR works by 
placing an image or video onto the real world so it appears as part of 
that environment. For example, as your viewer is watching a basketball 
game with AR-based smart glasses on, they can see what plays were 
performed during each period of the game. AR is excellent for 
providing additional insights into how teams prepare for games and 
keeping fans connected to their favorite sports team day-to-day.
7
Cybersecurity: When incorporating Cybersecurity into your fantasy sports 
application, you can enhance user authentication. Using this means that the 
user authenticates himself/herself when logging into the app. Multi-factor 
authentication gives users an additional layer of security. This prevents 
anyone from accessing their accounts as soon as they log out. Using current 
trends in cybersecurity you can safeguard your fantasy sports application 
with strong encryption methods. The information is safeguarded using 
algorithms and other data encoding methods to reduce the chances of it 
getting hacked or stolen. Biometrics and two-factor authentication can be 
used for higher levels of protection.
8
Smart Stadium with IoT: A smart stadium is a great tool for enhancing 
engagement with users. You could leverage its capabilities to let users 
monitor the fantasy team’s game and other important stats. By offering 
virtual reality technology, you can give your customers a first-class 
championship experience.
The Smart Stadium App enables smart stadiums to manage fans’ 
relationships with the team, the stadium, and the game. Predictive 
analytics from smart objects and sensors help you keep your audience up-
to-date with real-time data and engage with them through mobile 
services, social interaction, and virtual and augmented realities.
9
Streaming Solutions: One way to attract users to your app is the use of 
live streaming. A live event like a football match brings with it an in-built 
‘entertainment factor’. It would definitely be a more interesting 
experience for the users if they could watch the game live from within 
the app itself. Allow them instant access to live scores, detailed analysis, 
follow match proceedings stay updated on time, and also have access to 
highlights for each match.
10
Cross-Platform App Development: Stats show that fantasy sports 
participants have a habit of playing fantasy sports across more than one 
platform. For example, players will use their smartphones to make picks 
but then go on the web to check scores and standings. This kind of 
behavior makes it necessary for companies to develop apps that are 
available across platforms so a player doesn’t have to build a new 
identity when switching between devices.

Top Fantasy Sports Tech Trends & 
Innovations in Upcoming 2024
Performance Analytics: 
Competition analysis can help 
optimize your marketing 
strategy. It’s important to track 
and monitor your competitor’s 
performance in the industry at 
the same time as considering 
your own strengths.
12
Effective marketing strategies must be developed by considering how a 
company will pursue its interests, including analyzing market share in the 
industry, along with the strengths of its product/service.
Sensor technologies can analyze the velocity, distance, harshness, and 
acceleration of movement. When combined with some specific in-game 
metrics such as rebounding, average distance, or the average speed taken. It 
provides really accurate feedback on a player’s ability, stamina, and potential. 
This analytics would help coaches understand their strengths and weaknesses 
better and make better decisions in real time during the game or training 
session.
13
Fan Engagement: Sports fans want to pretend they are part of the game as if 
they are playing it themselves. Engage with your fans using the benefits of 
mobile technology and Virtual Reality. It’s important to understand this idea 
while you plan your app development. The more committed your users are, 
the better it is for you. It’s true that apps with a large fan following have more 
rewarding marketing plans. But by and large, user engagement goes a long 
way in ensuring richer experiences and better usability.
14
Smart Stadium: You can enhance the in-stadium live viewing experience with 
AI. With the increasing popularity of TV watching, the in-stadium viewers are 
declining. But it is not too low. However, there are efforts from companies to 
improve the in-stadium viewership. You can use IoT as a smart parking 
solution and connect with the fans using artificial intelligence (AI).
15
eSports: While eSports might be a relatively new concept in the sporting 
world, it is one that is rapidly gaining traction and popularity. It is time for 
businesses to invest in eSports, which is the next big thing. Investing in this 
niche allows more people to engage with your sports. People may not find 
certain sports engaging or interesting enough. This is why creating eSports 
opportunities for these games can contribute to boosting viewership.
16
Immersive Training: Immersive training enables athletes to practice in 
different conditions and environments. For instance, an athlete practicing for 
the snowboard circuit will need to have a virtual environment that is 
equipped with a simulated snowfield. This will help him prepare for real-
world competitions under substandard conditions and changing factors.
17
Advanced Streaming: High-streaming and Virtual Reality solutions are 
the future of sports broadcasting. Today, most broadcasting channels 
provide 1080p HD quality and broadcast games to homes. This picture 
size looks good on TV sets but is not of high quality when it comes to 
watching content on mobile phones, computers, and tablets. In things 
like football, basketball, tennis, golf, etc., sports broadcasters have been 
trying to figure out ways to provide a more enhanced viewing 
experience that includes terrific ultra-high qualities.
18
The first thing that comes to mind is 4k 360 VR streaming technology 
that has been developed to bring stunning experiences to users through 
live streaming. VR was initially hindered by a lack of content but getting 
back to the discussion about sports broadcasting, a lot of information 
and research was put into increasing the video quality of broadcasts 
through highly reliable and user-friendly mediums.
