CHAMPIONSHIP STREAMING GOES LIVE!

SPEEDWAY fans will have more chances to enjoy live racing than ever before thanks to a new live streaming project for the sport

Championship action will be available to view on a new streaming channel launched by the league under the British Speedway Network (BSN) for the 2022 season which begins this spring.

BSN will live stream over 30 meetings and will feature a variety of competitions from all 11 venues.

Fans all over the world will be able to watch the best the Championship has to offer by subscribing to the online channel which will go live in April – including every play-off meeting and other major events.

British Speedway Chairman Rob Godfrey said: "I'm delighted that the Championship will, for the first time, have its very own online channel to showcase the very best the league has to offer.

“This will supplement the fantastic coverage Eurosport offers with live Premiership speedway throughout the season. Eurosport have been fantastic broadcast partners and we look forward to a successful second year of that partnership this year.

“We see some fantastic racing every week across the whole of the UK, and now we can bring it to everyone's living room.

“We have some exciting plans to launch the season across both the Premiership and Championship.”

More details on this exciting development for the sport will be coming soon but meanwhile, Poole promoter Danny Ford backed the initiative adding, "this is great news for our league and dovetails nicely into the plans we have been working on separately at Poole to live stream all our home fixtures, as we stated last season. Obviously, when it is a Poole home meeting being featured on the BSN it will only be broadcast on that channel, but it is our intention to make sure that all our other meetings will be available for streaming through our website."
