Broadcast options for Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series Bermuda

Racing for the Louis Vuitton America’s Cup World Series in Bermuda will be held Saturday and Sunday (October 17-18, 2015), and is available to view live on television and on mobile devices internationally via the Official America’s Cup App (subject to territorial restrictions).

“New features have also been added to AC+ on the Official America’s Cup App,” said Harvey Schiller, Commercial Commissioner of the 35th America’s Cup. “Fans now have a chance to watch Virtual Eye graphics and to catch up on the first two regattas with discounted rates for replays of the Portsmouth and Gothenburg events.”

On television, NBC Sports will broadcast Sunday’s races (Oct. 18) in the U.S. at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT on television and simultaneously online through NBC Sports Live Extra. Viewers can also watch live racing and replays from both days on the official America’s Cup App.

In the UK and Ireland, both days of racing will air live on BT1 Sport – at 17:00 on Saturday, Oct. 17 and 17:30 on Sunday, Oct. 18. BT1 and BT2 Sport will run replays of racing throughout the week (check local listings). Highlight shows from the weekend will run on the BBC on Monday, Oct. 18 at 8:00 pm and Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 5:35 pm and 10:30 pm.

In Bermuda, racing is live on ZFB and via AC+ on the America’s Cup App.
