Overtime partnered with FOX One to produce Race to Glory, an unscripted competition series built around the FIFA World Cup and featuring well-known online creators, according to Sports Video Group.
The series took creators to New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Philadelphia for a set of soccer-inspired challenges. It is organized around two main creator-led squads and is hosted by Jolie Sharpe, Sports Video Group reported.
The collaboration generated more than 500 pieces of original short-form content, including competition clips, behind-the-scenes footage, selfies, and recaps, distributed across Overtime, FOX One, and dedicated social channels. Production relied on an iPhone-based workflow intended to keep speed, spontaneity, and the creators' own voices intact.
