SailGP: Where to watch

SailGP, which seeks to deliver a commercially viable international circuit of high speed competition, has secured broadcast agreements that ensure coverage in 90 countries, across five continents. The first of five events in 2019 begins February 15-16 in Sydney, Australia.

In the United States, racing will air live on Facebook alongside full access on the SailGP APP, set to be released this week. The app will offer a multi-feed, data-rich service that will allow viewers to watch the host broadcast with 11 feeds featuring onboard coverage from each boat. Additionally, the U.S. broadcast partner is expected to be announced later this week.

“Using the latest technology and through these valuable partnerships, we will deliver a broadcast and digital product that caters to modern consumption habits and brings our sport to life in a way that hasn’t been done before,” said SailGP CEO Russell Coutts.

Whisper Films will work alongside SailGP to create the world feed. Using drones and patented LiveLineFx technology and on-screen graphics, the broadcast seeks to deliver the most immersive, multi-platform global broadcast experience the sport has ever seen.
