Judo Federation, SES extend distribution partnership
April 21, 2026
SES, the space solutions company, and the International Judo Federation (IJF) have announced an extension of their long-standing partnership for distribution of leading judo events globally.
Under the new agreement, IJF will continue to use SES’s hybrid IP, fibre and satellite network, as well as the Sports Content Orchestration Enabler (SES SCORE) platform, to deliver judo content to broadcasters and audiences in Europe, Asia and the Americas.
From Grand Slams to Grand Prix events, SES has helped IJF deliver and preserve hundreds of thousands of hours of content for more than a decade. In addition to archiving and on‑demand access for broadcasters via SES SCORE, SES provides end‑to‑end operational support for IJF events, including uplink coordination, pre-event testing, live transmission monitoring, customised booking confirmations and contingency planning, ensuring seamless delivery of live competitions and long‑term access to IJF’s extensive judo library.
