Streaming your club's matches: what actually works

Run a speed test at the venue on a busy evening with courts full, not on a quiet morning. Congestion is what breaks streams.

If you cannot hold 10 Mbps upload, plan a wired connection or accept clips-only.

YouTube gives reach and free hosting. Vendor players give you branding, paywalls and sponsor placement with a smaller audience.

Most clubs stream leagues free and monetise through sponsor overlays rather than tickets.

Members must know courts are recorded. Post clear signage, put the policy in your booking terms, and give players a way to opt out of public sharing.

Junior programmes need explicit parental consent before any clip is published.
