What is Shorts?

Shorts is, erm, short for short-form video. Not the shorts that footballers wear.

It’s the familiar format you’ll recognise from many social media platforms: full-screen, vertical and easy to scroll through.

It’s not just video highlights either. You’ll find a mix of breaking news, explainers, behind-the-scenes content, interviews, features and highlights from major sporting events.

Most importantly, it’s all sport.

No distractions. Just trusted, entertaining and informative sport videos from the teams covering the biggest stories across BBC Sport.

So whether you’ve got a spare 30 seconds or 30 minutes, you’ll have a place to catch up on the action, understand the stories behind the headlines and hear from the biggest names in your favourite sports.

Can I make it my default experience?

Yes. If you love the Shorts experience, you can make it the screen that opens when you launch the BBC Sport app.

Simply tap the menu button in the top-right corner, select “Other”, then open “Settings”.

Prefer Home or My Sport? Nothing changes. They’ll remain available, and you can switch your default experience at any time in Settings.

Is the experience personalised?

Not yet. This is the first version of Shorts, so you’ll see the same experience as everyone else.

It’s curated by the BBC Sport team, bringing together the just in and best videos from news and events across the sporting world.

Why are you launching Shorts?

More fans are following sport through short-form video than ever before.

We want BBC Sport to be available in the formats audiences increasingly use every day, while offering something a little different.

This is trusted journalism, expert analysis and great storytelling from the teams covering the biggest stories in sport.

Shorts brings together the best of BBC Sport’s reporting, storytelling, highlights and analysis in a format designed for how many people follow sport today.
