Meet Samuel – Your Personal Investing Prophet

Teamworks has acquired Pro Football Focus’s enterprise business, adding PFF’s proprietary game-event data and analytics platform used by all NFL teams and more than 240 Division I football programs into its operating system for sports. Management positions this as a structural shift in how football organizations run data, film, and player tracking workflows, enabling a fully integrated, AI-driven platform for faster, higher-confidence decisions on game strategy and personnel.

The deal deepens Teamworks’ footprint in American football, with PFF CEO Cris Collinsworth joining as an advisor and PFF’s minority investors rolling into Teamworks as shareholders, aligning incentives around long-term football growth. By combining PFF’s data with assets from Zelus Analytics, Telemetry Sports, and Sportlogiq, Teamworks aims to deliver sport-specific AI within a governed platform that already serves 100% of NFL, NHL, and Premier League clubs and nearly all Division I athletic departments.

Executives highlight that the value extends beyond simply connecting systems: the integration is designed to push high-quality, timely insights directly into coaching, scouting, and executive workflows across front office and on-field operations. The acquisition immediately strengthens Teamworks’ offering in pro and college football, while also providing a template to replicate similar intelligence platforms across other major sports globally.

PFF’s consumer-facing business, including fantasy, betting, and fan analytics on PFF.com, is excluded from the transaction and will remain independent, preserving a clear B2B focus for Teamworks. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the transaction consolidates a critical data asset in a single operator and is likely to enhance Teamworks’ pricing power, stickiness, and upsell potential with elite teams seeking unified infrastructure and AI-powered competitive advantage.
