Fastbreak AI Appoints XV Capital Advisory as Exclusive ANZ Channel Partner

Global sports operations leader Fastbreak AI has announced a partnership with XV Capital Advisory (XV), appointing the firm as its exclusive channel and consulting partner for the Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) region.

The agreement aims to increase the adoption of AI-driven scheduling and logistical tools across the region’s professional, amateur, and youth sports sectors.

Noting that the partnership addresses a critical need for modernisation in the region, founding partner and CEO of XV Capital, James Godfrey, said: “Sports organisations across ANZ are looking for better ways to manage competition structures, events, programs and logistics as well as unearth new revenue opportunities.”

He added that the firm is proud to help expand the footprint of a company already trusted by the world’s premier professional leagues.

The deal comes on the heels of Fastbreak AI’s successful USD40 million Series A funding round in late 2025, which saw investment from the NBA, NHL, and high-profile athletes.

highlighting the importance of the ANZ market, co-founder and CEO of Fastbreak AI, John Stewart, added: “This partnership gives organisations across the region access to the same scheduling and operations technology used by major leagues around the world.”

“XV understands the local landscape and brings experience that will help schools, clubs and leagues move to more modern systems as they grow,” Stewart said.

The program will leverage Fastbreak AI’s proprietary software, which is already a recognisable fixture in the Australian market through its work with the AFL and NRL.

Globally, the platform is trusted by over 60 major leagues, including the NBA, NHL, and MLS, to automate complex competition structures, reduce travel costs, and optimize broadcast requirements.

By partnering with XV, Fastbreak AI gains a local foothold to scale its “Pro” and “Amateur” suites into community clubs, schools, and governing bodies.

As the “800-pound gorilla” in the sports scheduling space, Fastbreak AI’s expansion into ANZ via XV Capital, a firm co-founded by former Wallabies captain Stirling Mortlock, signals a major shift toward data-led efficiency in the local sporting landscape.

The collaboration is expected to provide national governing bodies and grassroots organisers with the tools to reduce operational friction while maintaining the honour and integrity of their respective competitions.
