The Fair Use Rule β€” What You Can and Can’t Use

This is the most important section for YouTube Shorts creators covering sports. Using official match footage without permission will get your video claimed or removed. Here is what is safe:

  • Your own face reacting β€” always safe, always original content
  • Your own commentary and analysis over a blank background β€” completely safe
  • Screen recordings of publicly available stats and data β€” safe with attribution
  • Official FIFA or team clips that have been licensed for sharing β€” check the source first
  • Never use match highlights directly from broadcast β€” always gets claimed by rights holders
