TNT SPORTS BECOMES THE NEW HOME OF BIKES IN THE UK AND IRELAND

The very best in two-wheel motorsport will have a new home from the 2025 season as TNT Sports becomes the go-to destination for world-class motorbikes coverage in the UK and Ireland.

The FIM Speedway Grand Prix series and FIM Speedway of Nations, along with action from British Speedway’s Rowe Motor Oil Premiership will be live on TNT Sports and discovery+. 

TNT Sports and discovery+ will also broadcast every round of MotoGP™, FIM Superbike World Championship, FIM Women’s Circuit Racing World Championship and Bennetts British Superbikes, along with coverage of the WBD Sports-promoted FIM Endurance World Championship.

Live coverage of every series will continue to be available to stream in full via TNT Sports’ streaming platform discovery+ - as it has for the past two seasons.

Scott Young, Group SVP, Content, Production and Business Operations, WBD Sports Europe said: “To bring such substantial fandom into one place is hugely exciting and we’re immensely proud to be the new Home of Bikes in the UK and Ireland.

“With all two-wheel motorsport under one single brand it allows us to grow and drive a dedicated bikes community and establish TNT Sports as the go-to destination for the best motorbikes coverage across all platforms.

“The new TNT Sports Bikes social profile will be the ultimate storytelling platform for every round from every championship with engaging content to keep fans captivated throughout the season. Supported by a strong offer across our free-to-air network, we believe we’ve created a complete fan-first eco-system.  

“We see the global profile and breadth of our motorbikes content portfolio as a pivotal element in accelerating our premium sport streaming proposition.”

A SEASON FIRST FOR SPEEDWAY GP WITH LAUNCH OF NEW UK ROUND

For the first time ever, the 2025 FIM Speedway GP calendar will feature two UK rounds. Britain’s National Speedway Stadium in Manchester will host an exciting FIM Speedway GP of Great Britain – Manchester double-header on June 13 and 14, delivering a feast of premium Speedway GP action across the weekend at a pivotal point in the season. 

Full coverage will be live across TNT Sports and streamed on discovery+, with TNTSports.co.uk and TNT Sports Bikes delivering a comprehensive digital experience across web and social.

TNT Sports’ speedway coverage will be presented by Abi Stephens and also features four-time Speedway GP world champion Greg Hancock, seven-time British champion Scott Nicholls, and two-time British champion commentators Kelvin Tatum and Chris Louis.

TNT Sports’ on-screen team includes some of the biggest names in two-wheel motorsport - boasting a wealth of accolades, expertly positioned to deliver unmatched analysis – and also includes: 

James Toseland (x2 Superbike World Champion) Sylvain Guintoli (x1 Superbike World Champion) Neil Hodgson (x1 Superbike World Champion, x1 British Superbikes Champion) Shane Byrne (x6 British Superbikes Champion) James Whitham (x2 British Superbike Champion). 

Former Superbike and MotoGP™ riders James Haydon and Michael Laverty will feature as regular on-screen experts throughout the season. Suzi Perry will again anchor the MotoGP™ action with Rachel Stringer and Matt Roberts leading the coverage across World Superbikes and Bennetts British Superbikes.

Gavin Emmett, Greg Haines and Steve Day will lead the commentary across MotoGP™, World Superbikes and Bennetts British Superbikes.

MORE PREMIUM RACE ACTION AVAILABLE FREE-TO-AIR

To broaden reach and to maximise accessibility, more top-tier coverage will be made available free-to-air for 2025. DMAX will be the new free-to-air home for highlights from every round of Speedway GP and Britain’s Rowe Motor Oil Premiership.

The final MotoGP™ race days from rounds in Qatar (April 11-13) and Silverstone (May 23-25) will be broadcast live free-to-air on Quest, as well as the Sprint Races from every round broadcast in full on a short same-day delay. There will also be a new highlights show every Monday after each race weekend.

The concluding race days from four rounds of the Bennetts British Superbikes will also be broadcast live on Quest, including Oulton Park (Round 1), Thruxton (Round 6), Donington Park GP (Round 8) and Oulton Park (Round 10). Highlights from every round will continue to be available on Quest every Monday after the weekend’s race action.

PRODUCT FEATURES TO ENHANCE LIVE STREAMING EXPERIENCE

discovery+ will continue to offer innovative features to deliver a true fan-first broadcast. Coverage of all three MotoGP™ classes will include Timeline Marker functionality, enabling fans to seamlessly transition between key race moments to re-live the action again and again.

Live World Superbikes action on discovery+ will offer an additional live uninterrupted ad-free stream, allowing fans to benefit from more analysis and features, ensuring a comprehensive non-stop live broadcast.

TNT SPORTS BIKES - THE NEW PREMIUM DIGITAL DESTINATION

TNT Sports’ newly-launched social profile, TNT Sports Bikes, consolidates all two-wheel series under one single digital destination, across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X. For the first time, the FIM Superbike World Championship, Bennetts British Superbikes, FIM Speedway GP and British Premiership Speedway content will be housed in a dedicated motorbikes social profile.
