MAVTV to broadcast FIM Speedway in US
March 13, 2024
Motorsport network MAVTV is the new home of the FIM Speedway World Championships in the US after partnering with global promoter Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe to become an official broadcast partner for the next three seasons.
MAVTVwill bring US fans live coverage of the FIM Speedway Grand Prix World Championship series, beginning with its 2024 season which starts with the FIM Speedway GP of Croatia on April 27th.
Additionally, viewers can watch the 2024 FIM Speedway of Nations, the sport’s world team championship, live from Manchester, Great Britain, from July 9th-13th.
Fans will also have access to the FIM Speedway Under-21 World Championship series (SGP2) and the FIM Speedway Youth World Championship (SGP3) on MAVTV.
FIM Speedway World Championships director, Laura Manciet, commented: “Our American fans have a huge passion for the sport, and I am delighted to confirm they will be able to watch every lap of the 2024 season on MAVTV. As a network that covers such a wide range of motorsport, MAVTV is the ideal platform to bring FIM Speedway to viewers who may not have experienced the sport before, as well as introducing our loyal fans to MAVTV’s extensive range of live action and motorsport documentaries. The USA has an incredible history in Speedway GP, and the future looks bright with Luke Becker showing good speed when he made his Speedway GP debut in Torun last September. We look forward to bringing the 2024 season to MAVTV viewers from April.”
