Providing clients experienced support through unprecedented change

Sport is an ever-growing business, with (pre-pandemic) analysis estimating that the global industry generates revenue of over $100bn a year and more recent estimates that the industry is currently worth between $400-$500bn. Interest in watching sport, both live and through traditional television channels or streaming platforms, has increased markedly and the anticipation of monetizing this fanbase has attracted investment on a scale not previously seen.

Ankura’s cross-functional team of experts Protect, Create, and Recover ValueTM for our sports industry clients, including representing clubs, leagues, governing bodies, investors, and other stakeholders.    

Our wide range of experience includes representing the secured lenders in the sale of a Major League Baseball team to leading a program of in-country governance and compliance reviews for a global sports federation.

We assist sporting bodies, hosts and organizers of major events globally to reduce, manage, and mitigate political, reputational, and financial risks driven by increasing societal expectations and a drive to professionalize sport in the wake of external investment.
