Sports fans are watching more games than ever – through their mobile phones. A poll of 2,000 sports enthusiasts, who own phones, found over a third (37 per cent) are watching more action through the small screen.
And one in ten (11 per cent) claimed the amount they watch on phones is “significantly” more than 12 months ago. More than two in five (43 per cent) are turning to their mobiles to watch sports on the go, while 45 per cent do so when the main TV at home isn't available.
The research, commissioned by Sky Mobile, revealed the two must-watch sporting events this summer include the Women's Euros (36 per cent) and Commonwealth Games (29 per cent). It also emerged two-thirds are backing the home nations for a win this sporting season, with one in four expecting to see the Lionesses triumph at the Euros.
