SportsEngine was acquired by PlayMetrics on May 1, 2026. If your club is unsure what that means for your pricing, your contract, or your data, Waresport gives you a clear answer and a free path forward.
On May 1, 2026, PlayMetrics completed its acquisition of SportsEngine from Versant Media Group. SportsEngine now operates as part of the PlayMetrics platform — a combined entity that serves enterprise organizations, governing bodies, and large league operators.
For smaller clubs — those with 50 to 500 members — this consolidation raises real questions. Will SportsEngine HQ pricing change under new ownership? Which product lines survive the integration? What happens to your existing contract at renewal?
These are fair questions and PlayMetrics has not yet given detailed answers to club-level operators. If your renewal is coming up, this is the right time to evaluate your options.
A direct, line-by-line look at the SportsEngine pricing and feature gaps clubs care about.

"You do not get immediate answers or assistance — it can take days before you get a response, and when they do respond it is to tell you they are sending the issue to someone else."
Capterra verified review, February 2025
"The admin interface is extremely complicated and not intuitive. Setting up a season, teams, divisions, and games was not straightforward."
Capterra verified review
"We have given them over $10K in setup fees and monthly fees, not including the exorbitant processing fees our athletes and families pay."
