ATLANTA, Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — PlayOn Sports has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc.’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The recognition marks PlayOn’s fifth consecutive appearance on the prestigious list, reflecting the company’s sustained growth and continued innovation across GoFan, MaxPreps and the NFHS Network, which together serve over 20,000 schools and millions of fans nationwide.

The Inc. 5000 recognizes America’s fastest-growing private companies for their ability to drive growth, create jobs and shape the future of business.

“Being recognized on the Inc. 5000 for the fifth consecutive year reflects the sustained growth of our business and, more importantly, the trust schools, state associations and communities continue to place in PlayOn,” said Perkins Miller, CEO of PlayOn Sports. “As participation in high school sports continues to grow, we’re focused on building technology that helps schools operate more efficiently, strengthens community connections and creates better experiences for athletes, families and fans. This recognition is a testament to the incredible work of our team and the impact we’re proud to make every day.”

PlayOn continues to expand its technology ecosystem serving high school athletics through GoFan, the leading digital ticketing provider for over 750,000 events each year; MaxPreps, the trusted source for high school sports schedules, scores and rankings for over 50 million unique annual visitors; and the NFHS Network, which streams over 600,000 live and on-demand events each year with automated cameras and student-led crews. Together, PlayOn brands help schools increase participation, generate revenue and connect communities around the moments that matter most.

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making, and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance–it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
