Overtime Elite Signs Media Deal With Amazon - RealGM Wiretap
Overtime Elite, which formed as an alternative option to high school and college for basketball players, has signed their first media rights deal. Overtime Elite, or OTE, will air 20 games on Amazon Prime over each of the next three years.
In addition to covering games, Amazon will also invest in OTE. This also continues Amazon's investment in live sports. The company is broadcasting NFL games this season, as part of an exclusive Thursday night package, MLB games and WNBA games. Amazon is rumored to be interested in bidding on covering NBA games during upcoming media rights negotiations for the NBA.
Amazon will also produce an unscripted series on OTE. This is expected to take the format of previous unscripted series Amazon has run on English Premier League teams, as well as NFL teams. This season, OTE features Amen and Ausur Thompson on their roster. The twins are both routinely seen as top-10 picks in the 2023 NBA Draft. Now, fans will have a consistent way to see the Thompson twins, as well as other talented players on a streaming service that isn't social media based.
