Swedish fans can enjoy all the 2023 FIM Speedway action on discovery+, with three Speedway GP rounds live free-to-air on Warner Bros. Discovery-owned Kanal 9.
discovery+ will once again bring subscribers full live coverage of all 10 Speedway GP rounds throughout 2023, starting with the season-opening Tehnix FIM Speedway GP of Croatia on April 29.
This will feature all the build-up from the pits and reaction after the chequered flag falls, plus the very best coverage of the racing including pit and on-board cameras, rider reaction times and, coming soon, live speed data.
Fans will also be able to watch the Tehnix FIM Croatian Speedway GP live free-to-air on Kanal 9, as well as the Orlen FIM Speedway GP of Poland – Warsaw on May 13 and Sweden’s biggest speedway event – the FIM Speedway GP of Sweden – Malilla on July 15. Kanal 9 will also feature highlights from all 10 Speedway GP events this year.
There will also be live action on Eurosport 1, as the Monster Energy FIM Speedway World Cup Race Off and Final will be televised from Wroclaw on July 28 and 29, as well as a 45-minute highlights show after every Speedway GP event.
Eurosport will also provide live coverage of the FIM SGP3 Final from Malilla on July 14 as the sport’s top 250cc under-16 riders compete for the FIM Speedway Youth World Championship.
Sweden’s six-time Speedway GP world champion and FIM Speedway global ambassador Tony Rickardsson can’t wait for the 2023 action to get underway on discovery+ and Kanal 9.
He said: “It’s super that Swedish fans can catch three 2023 Speedway GP rounds live and free on Kanal 9, with every moment of this season’s racing live on discovery+.
“With Kanal 9 also televising highlights from all 10 Speedway GP rounds, Swedish fans have every opportunity to watch this season’s action, and hopefully free-to-air coverage will bring new fans on board as well.
“With speedway celebrating its 100th anniversary season in 2023, I’m sure we are in for a year to remember, and I’m sure both Fredrik Lindgren and Kim Nilsson will be determined to deliver great performances for the Swedish fans.”
Laura Manciet, FIM Speedway championships director, looks forward to bringing Swedish viewers an exciting season of racing in 2023.
She said: “It’s a pleasure to bring three Speedway GP rounds to Kanal 9 once again in 2023 – giving us the perfect opportunity to deliver all the action from Croatia, Warsaw and Malilla to a national audience free-to-air, along with highlights of every Speedway GP round.
“Increasing the visibility of our great sport is a key objective for Discovery Sports Events and we hope this year’s Kanal 9 coverage will take the racing to fans both old and new across Sweden.
“With the Monster Energy FIM SWC Race Off and Final also available on Eurosport 1, there is plenty of FIM Speedway action for Swedish fans to enjoy as Fredrik Lindgren and Speedway GP newcomer Kim Nilsson fly the flag for them in 2023.”
