Abstract This paper presents an in‑depth analysis of Tivibu Spor 1 Canlı İzle , the flagship live‑streaming service for sports content offered by Türkiye’s leading telecommunications operator, Türk Telekom . It examines the platform’s technical architecture, content portfolio, user experience, market positioning, and regulatory environment. The study also explores the challenges and opportunities associated with live sports streaming in Turkey, including competition, bandwidth constraints, and the evolving preferences of younger audiences. 1. Introduction The proliferation of high‑speed broadband and the widespread adoption of smart devices have fundamentally altered how Turkish viewers consume sports. Traditional linear television is increasingly complemented—or even supplanted—by over‑the‑top (OTT) services that enable on‑demand and live streaming. Tivibu , Türk Telekom’s branded IPTV and broadband platform, launched Tivibu Spor 1 as a dedicated channel for live sports, subsequently extending its reach through the Canlı İzle (Live Watch) web and mobile applications.
