SAN JOSE, Calif. — Aug. 12, 2025 — Harmonic today announced that Globoplay, Brazil’s largest video streaming platform owned by Globo, is using its technology for low-latency live streaming. In this context, the deployment supports the 2025 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, Brazil’s premier football championship. At the same time, VOS360 Media SaaS enables the streaming of premium channels via Globoplay. This approach, in turn, delivers matches with pristine video quality and near-real-time viewing experiences.
Delivering broadcast-grade, low-latency streaming at scale
“Streaming over 300 matches across 38 rounds of Brazil’s top football championship requires us to lean on a technology partner that can deliver true broadcast-grade performance at scale,” said Diego Ramos, digital platform director at Globo. “After a rigorous evaluation process, we selected Harmonic for their proven low-latency streaming technology, cloud flexibility and exceptional DevOps support — all of which enable us to captivate fans with unforgettable live sports streaming experiences.”
VOS360 Media SaaS simplifies all stages of media processing and streaming delivery for this large-scale sports event. Furthermore, Globo runs the solution in a public cloud region located close to its operations. The deployment was the result of a collaborative effort across multiple Globo teams, with significant support from Harmonic. Throughout this process, the teams adjusted video systems, fine-tuned the CDN and ensured compatibility across players. As a result, this coordinated work enabled a robust and reliable rollout.
“We’re thrilled to support Globo in transforming how football fans across Brazil experience live sports,” said Gil Rudge. “This win reinforces Harmonic’s leadership in powering live sports streaming at scale. It highlights our commitment to enabling superior viewer experiences across any screen. With our low-latency, future-proof solution, Globo is setting a new benchmark for premium sports streaming delivery in one of the world’s most passionate football markets.”
