Yes—there are a few platforms that can handle low-latency live streaming and also support paid replays / premium VOD monetization, which is especially useful for sports creators.

Good options to look at

1. Dacast

  • Live streaming with low-latency options
  • Supports pay-per-view, subscriptions, and gated replay access
  • Often used for sports, events, and paid video libraries

2. Uscreen

  • Strong for monetizing video libraries and replays
  • Supports subscriptions, rentals, and one-time purchases
  • Better for premium replay sales than ultra-low-latency live, but can work for sports creators

3. Vimeo OTT / Vimeo

  • Good playback quality and monetization tools
  • Supports paywalls, subscriptions, and event access
  • More suitable if you want a polished branded experience

4. Muvi

  • Built for OTT-style video businesses
  • Supports live streaming + VOD monetization
  • Can handle pay-per-view, subscriptions, and replay access control

5. JW Player

  • Strong video delivery and low-latency live capabilities
  • Monetization is possible, but usually more enterprise-oriented and may require more setup

6. Wowza + third-party monetization

  • Very flexible for low-latency live
  • Usually paired with another platform or custom layer for replay monetization
  • Best if you want custom control and have technical resources

If your priority is:

  • Best low-latency live + monetized replays in one place: Dacast or Muvi
  • Best for subscription-based replay businesses: Uscreen
  • Best enterprise/custom flexibility: Wowza or JW Player

Things to verify before choosing

For sports, you’ll want to confirm:

  • Latency target: sub-3s, 5–10s, or just “near-live”
  • Replay protection: can replays be locked behind paywalls or tokenized access?
  • Clip/chapter tools: useful for highlights
  • Device support: web, iOS, Android, smart TV
  • Geo-blocking / DRM if needed
  • Scalability for live game traffic spikes

If you want, I can narrow this down into a best-fit shortlist based on your budget, expected audience size, and whether you need sub-3-second latency.
