Summarize Sports Videos in Minutes with YouTube Summary

TL;DR: Paste a sports video URL into YouTube Summary, and our Sport mode delivers a structured recap—key plays, timestamps, momentum shifts, and the final score—in minutes.

Why YouTube Summary for sports

Fans want specifics: who scored, when momentum flipped, and why the result changed. Our Sport category prioritizes match flow, decisive moments, and verifiable timestamps so you can jump straight to the action.

The simple workflow

• Paste a YouTube link with subtitles enabled.
• We fetch the transcript and keep time anchors.
• Our Sport extractor detects goals, rounds, sets, lead changes, penalties, injuries, pit stops, and reviews.
• You get a recap organized by phase of play, plus the final score and short context.

What the output looks like

Instead of “the second half was intense,” you’ll see: - Football: “Left‑wing cross, header from Martínez, 1–0. VAR check for offside, goal stands.” - Tennis: “Set 2, 4–5 [deuce]: 3 straight first‑serve winners to save set points. Breaks next game, wins set 7–5.” - F1: “Lap 32: Undercut on hards to leapfrog to P2. Safety car Lap 38 compresses field; restart overtake at Turn 1.”

Every claim ties to a timestamp so you can verify instantly.

When it shines

• Matches with clear commentary or on‑screen captions.
• Highlights, replays, or long-form analysis with timestamps.
• Sports with discrete scoring: football, basketball, tennis, UFC, golf, F1.

Note: Visual‑only moments may be missed if captions omit them. Videos need subtitles to work best.

Why it’s accurate

Our transcript-first approach ensures accuracy by drawing from the actual spoken content rather than using other video metadata. We apply carefully crafted extraction rules specific to each sport, considering the unique scoring systems, terminology, and match flow patterns. For football, this means detecting goals, cards, and VAR reviews. For tennis, it’s tracking sets, breaks, and key momentum shifts. For F1, we focus on overtakes, pit strategy, and safety car periods.

Every key event and play gets paired with a precise timestamp from the original video. This means you can instantly verify any claimed action or result by jumping directly to that moment. The timestamps also help preserve the chronological flow of the match or race.

The sport-specific rules combined with rigorous timestamp verification prevent speculation and hallucinations. We only include events clearly described in the transcript rather than making assumptions about what might have happened based on incomplete information.
