Rob B Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 Didn't think it been confirmed if Eurosport have the GP contract yet for UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Eurosport Events", an events management company which is part of the Eurosport group, have the rights to run the SGP series from next year. That doesn't necessarily mean that Eurosport will actually be showing the series in the UK. They may sell the broadcast rights to another company if they get a good offer.

That would be a surprise move, do they do that with anything else do you know? I don't even know if Eurosport Events do anything else, or is Speedway their first venture?

flagrag Posted August 1, 2021 Report Share Posted August 1, 2021 The last I heard was that Eurosport events had invited tenders for UK coverage but with BT sport up for sale they are reluctant to bid on any rights at the minute until they know who are their new owners and which direction they want to go in. Some possibly bad news for Speedway fans is that new online broadcaster DAZN (Just taken Boxing away from Sky sports ) has indicated that Speedway may be a sport that fits their profile but that would be another payment required and is an online only channel. Eurosport events are in a good position really as if they cannot get the figures they want for UK coverage then it can go on their own Eurosport UK channel but I would expect some to just be on Eurosport player especially when Tennis is on and European & Olympic athletics as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eurosport events have been around a while, they do touring cars etc. In Poland they haven't given Tv rights to Eurosport Poland they have done new deal with nSport.
