FOX Sports Australia, Kayo Sports, and Sky New Zealand to bring FIM World Supercross Championship to Australasian audiences in 2024
FIM World Supercross Championship season to be televised live on Sky New Zealand and FOX Sports Australia and Kayo in Australia, alongside highlights
The FIM World Supercross Championship (WSX) will be broadcast on FOX Sports Australia, Kayo Sports, and Sky New Zealand for the 2024 season to bring high-octane international stadium Supercross racing to Australasian audiences.
The 2024 season will mark WSX’s longest campaign to date and will see the series race in the Australasia region for a third year in a row, igniting HBF Park in Perth with not one, but two nights of action for the WSX Australian GP – a historic first-ever double-header event for the championship.
Before racing in Australia on 23-24 November, WSX will race at BC Place in Vancouver for the season-opening WSX Canadian GP, next heading to Perth before holding the WSX Abu Dhabi GP at Etihad Arena for the 2024 finale on 4 December.
WSX’s 2024 season has attracted an international grid which is shaping up to be its most competitive in history, with reigning two-time champion, Ken Roczen, returning to defend his title while facing stiff opposition in the form of two-time WSX vice champion, Joey Savatgy, and Motocross and Supercross legend, Eli Tomac.
The coming campaign will also see some of Australasia’s most talented riders take on the world stage, including nine-time Australian National Motocross champion, Matt Moss, who will race for Australia’s most successful Motocross and Supercross team, CDR Yamaha.
In Australia, FOX Sports Australia and Kayo Sports will broadcast the 2024 season as part of a two-hour live show, while Sky New Zealand will lead broadcasting in New Zealand.
With FOX Sports Australia, Kayo Sports, and Sky New Zealand, Australasian fans will be able to enjoy event-buildup, cutting-edge analysis, and behind-the-scenes rider and team content for an immersive paddock experience from the comfort of home.
Tom Burwell, Chief Executive Officer, FIM World Supercross Championship, said: “The Australasia region has one of the top fanbases for Supercross globally, and I’m delighted to confirm that FOX Sports Australia, Kayo Sports, and Sky New Zealand will be showing every WSX race live in 2024. As a championship, we want to bring our audience along with us for the ride by completely opening up the sport. We want to immerse our superfans more than ever before, but we also want to be open and accessible to new fans who might be getting their first-ever taste of Supercross this year. With FOX Sports Australia, Kayo Sports, and Sky New Zealand, we’ll be able to strike that perfect balance to create an unforgettable experience from home.”
Jonny Errington, Chief Content and Commercial Officer, Sky New Zealand, said: “We are delighted to continue our relationship with FIM World Supercross, bringing New Zealanders another action-packed Championship. Our customers love their motorsports and this event always delivers some thrilling broadcast coverage for them.”
