About this tag
Sideline technology refers to the integration of advanced computing, AI, and analytics tools used by NFL teams during games. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight Microsoft's expanded partnership with the NFL, deploying Copilot-powered Surface devices and Azure AI services on sidelines.
