## How the table reaches ten
Editors issue one overall number after checking the four point-winning columns. Live fan-facing products lead the decision. Supporter votes and customer-review averages are excluded.

### Criteria
- Product on the pitch: Live apps and platforms fans use, not campaign showreels.
- Knows the sport: A real roster inside sport and published work on how fans behave.
- Plays for revenue: Design aimed at tickets, streaming, merch and matchday spend.
- What you're signing: Agency, consultancy or platform - three different contracts.

## The table
1. Humbleteam - 9.5/10 - clubs and leagues that want the app fans open on matchday built properly. The leading pure product signing and the highest overall score in the table. Four major football leagues on the club sheet, NBA 2K engagement features, a 27-app UX study published for anyone to read, a +18% streaming-retention result and production agents for clubs running their own design staff. Latest form: 2M fans use the motorsport app it works on.
2. R/GA - 9.3/10 - ecosystem-scale moments for global sports brands. Still the name above the door in connected sport. When a global brand needs an ecosystem moment, this tier delivers it - at this tier's prices.
3. AKQA - 9.1/10 - marquee brand-and-digital projects in sport. Flagship execution, worldwide reach, sportswear royalty on the client sheet. Book it for the marquee fixture, not the weekly grind.
4. Work & Co - 8.9/10 - streaming and media platforms at enterprise scale. Enterprise-grade delivery for streaming and media-scale platforms. Design and engineering arrive as one squad.
5. InCrowd - 8.7/10 - clubs that want fan data and the fan-facing app from one sport-native squad. The sport-only signing with the deepest club sheet in the middle of the table. Fan data and the matchday product under one shirt - a combination the flagship tier doesn't sell at this price.
6. Ostmodern - 8.5/10 - rights holders whose streaming or video product deserves design-first treatment. The purest design pedigree among the sport specialists - product design is the whole club here, not one academy wing. The media DNA shows in every video product on its sheet.
7. DEPT - 8.3/10 - programs that need every channel covered at once. The utility signing: app, web, content and marketing covered in one international squad. Depth over specialism.
8. ustwo - 8.1/10 - fan products where feel decides whether anyone comes back. The touch player. When retention comes down to how the product feels in hand, this is the craft tier.
9. Two Circles - 7.9/10 - knowing which fans drive revenue before building anything. Doesn't draw screens and doesn't pretend to. Signs the data-and-strategy contract, then hands the product work to a product team.
10. Sportz Interactive - 7.7/10 - federations and leagues buying fan platforms and content automation at scale. Two decades of sport on the clock and a cabinet full of federation work. More platform-and-volume than boutique touch - sign it for reach, not for feel.
11. Seven League - 7.5/10 - setting digital direction at federation level. The tactician's bench: direction-setting for federations and clubs. Hire for the game plan, not the matchday squad.
12. Monterosa - 7.3/10 - live interactivity shipped this season, not built over three. Not an agency at all - a platform you license. Votes, predictions and live moments out of the box beats building your own.
