Super League Triathlon (SLT) and Sport1 have agreed a broadcaster partnership to bring SLT’s high octane racing to fans in Germany.
The Super League Triathlon 2021 Championship Series will see many of the best triathletes in the world do battle over back-to-back weekends in London, Munich, Jersey and Malibu. SLT adds that the short, sharp and action packed events offer a ‘made for broadcast package that will thrill fans around the world.’
The 2021 Championship Series also sees the addition of SLT Teams – a new team franchise concept. Super League argues that this will deliver more tactics and dynamics, ensure the racing remains constantly high octane and create further spectator engagement in a way the sport has never seen before.
Sport1 will broadcast live coverage from London, Jersey and Malibu with Munich shown delayed. All events will also be live on Sport1.de with repeats on Sport1+. In addition, Bayerischer Rundfunk will be broadcasting SLT Munich live.
Joe Edwards, Super League Triathlon’s Chief Marketing Officer, said “This is a huge year for Super League Triathlon as we continue to grow triathlon in line with our vision to create a sustainable and brighter future for the sport.
“We are delighted to be partnering with Sport1 to bring the world’s most exciting multisport racing to fans in the triathlon mad market of Germany, especially with a home race taking place in Munich.”
Daniel von Busse, COO TV and member of the management team of Sport1 GmbH, said “We are excited to be partnering with Super League Triathlon to show their events across our platforms throughout September.
There is a huge interest in triathlon off the back of the Olympics, and with such great formats, the best athletes in the world and a Super League race here in Germany for the first time it promises to be a fantastic month of action.”
Super League Triathlon’s 2021 Championship Series race calendar is:
September 5: London, UK
September 12: Munich, Germany
September 18: Jersey, Channel Islands
September 25: Malibu, USA
Further broadcaster announcements will be made in the coming days.
