ATHLOS, the international all-women’s professional track and field league, has announced a media rights partnership with W – Sport, an international broadcaster dedicated exclusively to women’s sports.
The partnership will see W – Sport broadcast ATHLOS London live on its linear channel and owned digital streaming platforms, alongside delayed and on-demand replays from StoneX Stadium in London, UK on September 18, 2026 at 19:00 BST.
Marking ATHLOS’ inaugural London event, the agreement represents its largest international television footprint expansion to date. W – Sport’s coverage spans approximately 120 countries and territories across Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Oceania, offering live coverage in both English and French. The partnership brings the event directly onto television screens in millions of homes worldwide.
Kayla Green, Acting President at ATHLOS, said “ATHLOS going global in 2026 is about making sure fans everywhere can watch the world’s best athletes under the lights. W – Sport is a natural partner for us because our values align perfectly: a league built around women athletes broadcast on a network built entirely around women’s sport. Putting ATHLOS on television in 120 countries gives millions of fans a front-row seat to history.”
Kelly Butler, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of W – Sport, said “ATHLOS is redefining women’s track and field, and we are delighted to bring its international debut to audiences across 120 countries and territories.
