How to watch the 37th America’s Cup

The 37th America’s Cup has nearly arrived. Can the Kiwis be the first team to win three in a row? Will Great Britain regain their trophy? Has the USA team righted the wrongs from the 36th edition? Will the air temperature in Barcelona ever stop sizzling?

The first look at the five Challenger teams and the Defender will be the final Preliminary Regatta on August 22-25, 2024. The match racing format has four races per day, with the top two AC75s advancing to one-race, winner-takes-all Grand Final.

While the results from the event don’t impact the America’s Cup, they will certainly impact each team’s performance plan going forward. To win the 37th Cup, it is about improve or die, and it all gets real with the start of the Challenger Selection Series on August 29.

On all competition days, races start at 14:00 CET (08:00 ET) and run until 16:30 or 17:00, depending on the schedule.
