said: “We are delighted to announce TNT Sports as our new broadcast partner in the UK and Ireland, with exclusive live coverage of SailGP events.
“The UK has a passionate and engaged sailing fanbase and we will work closely with TNT Sports to grow awareness of the league and captivate a brand new audience of racing fans.”
Emirates Great Britain SailGP Team CEO Sir Ben Ainslie said: “We are delighted that TNT Sports will be the new exclusive home of SailGP in the UK. It’s great to have a broadcast platform on-board for the 2025 Season, which will have more teams, events and action than ever before.
“We can’t wait to begin this weekend with our home-from-home event, the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix, and of course our return to the UK for the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix in Portsmouth next year.”
Scott Young, Group SVP of Content, Production and Business Operations at WBD Sports Europe added: “We’re delighted to welcome SailGP to TNT Sports, launching this weekend with all the action on the water exclusively live from Dubai.
“If you have never watched sailing, but you love fast-paced, exciting, competitive, non-stop action, then I recommend you tune in this weekend. Viewers will not be disappointed, it is some of the most exciting racing you will ever see, on or off the water.”
SailGP’s 2025 season will see 12 national teams on the start line for the first time, including two new teams – Italy and the Mubadala Brazil SailGP with Martine Grael as the league’s first ever female driver.
All teams compete in identical high-tech, high-speed 50-foot foiling catamarans at iconic venues around the world, including Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Geneva, New York and many more.
Racing faster than the wind at speeds approaching 100 km/h (60 mph), SailGP is driven by the sport’s top athletes, with national pride, personal glory, and a top prize all at stake.
SailGP’s 2025 season begins this weekend, unfolding over two action-packed days of racing on the pristine waters of P&O Marina’s Port Mina Rashid (November 23-24, 2024). Both days of racing will be live on TNT Sports 2 and discovery+ from 2pm (UK time).
TNT Sports is available across all major TV platforms including EE TV, Sky and Virgin Media. discovery+ is the streaming destination for TNT Sports in the UK, presenting many of the world’s most celebrated sports events live together with an extensive selection of original documentaries.
