Upcoming changes in motorcycle racing broadcasts
Starting from late February 2025, motorcycle racing enthusiasts in the UK will experience significant changes in how they access their favorite events. All live and recorded content previously available on Eurosport, including the Bennetts British Superbikes and the FIM World Superbikes, will transition to the TNTSports channel network. This shift marks a pivotal moment for fans, as it consolidates many beloved racing series under a new broadcasting umbrella, effectively replacing the Eurosport app in the region.
What to expect from TNTSports
With this transition, TNTSports, formerly known as BT Sport, will not only continue to offer extensive coverage of the MotoGP but will also host a variety of other racing events. Viewers can anticipate a seamless viewing experience, as all race series will be live-streamed without interruptions. For those interested in catching every moment, the Discovery+ platform will include live broadcasts for subscribers, ensuring that fans remain connected to the racing community.
Free-to-air content options
While many events will be under subscription, several free-to-air broadcasts will still be available. Warner Bros. Discovery’s Quest channel and ITV will continue to air select content, ensuring that fans who do not have a TNTSports subscription can still enjoy significant races and events. This approach aims to keep the spirit of motorcycle racing alive, providing accessibility to a wider audience.
Exclusive content on the WSBK video pass
In addition to the standard race broadcasts, viewers can take advantage of the WSBK video pass, which offers access to every test session, timed practice, qualifying, and race event throughout the season. This is a fantastic opportunity for die-hard fans who want to dive deeper into the racing experience. Keep an eye out for promotional bundles, particularly those that may tie in with Amazon Prime deals, making it easier to enjoy the excitement of racing.
