  • Innovative virtual training platform MyWhoosh becomes the lead sponsor of live cycling coverage on Eurosport, TNT Sports, HBO Max and discovery+* 
  • MyWhoosh to feature around WBD’s coverage of the world’s greatest races 
  • WBD and MyWhoosh will produce new content exploring technology in cycling

MyWhoosh, the free-to-use virtual cycling app, has partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) to become its new leading cycling partner throughout the 2026 season. 

With more than 300 days of live action encompassing over 1,000 individual race broadcasts including every race on the men’s and women’s UCI World Tour, WBD’s premium cycling coverage across Europe on Eurosport, TNT Sports, HBO Max and discovery+ will see MyWhoosh positioned around the biggest events**. The sponsorship package includes brand visibility and placement across all of WBD’s cycling coverage across its linear, digital, web, app and social platforms which collectively reach 130 million fans each year. 

As well as on-screen branding throughout some of the year’s most prestige races outside of the Tour de France, including the Giro d’Italia and UCI Road World Championships, the collaboration will also see a series of short films created for WBD’s digital and social platforms that explores the power of MyWhoosh. WBD’s team of cycling experts and on-screen presenters will take part in challenges as part of a Human vs Virtual series hosted on the platform to authentically present the benefits to cyclists. Fast-paced storytelling will include voice-overs from WBD’s expert commentators with MyWhoosh race data, such as speed, watts and heartrate, overlaid through bespoke graphics which blend the real and virtual worlds.  

Furthermore, new behind-the-scenes documentary style content will also explore the advanced features housed within MyWhoosh through a new Cycling Tech Diary series. Five short episodes including interviews with the experts behind the technology will educate viewers about its potential, from exploring the power of its community to meeting the minds behind the design of the unique virtual environments and challenges housed within the platform.    

Scott Young, EVP at WBD Sports Europe, said: “As the Home of Cycling for more than 35 years, our complete collection of live races, non-live content and original stories reach millions of fans across Europe every year. Our mission is to continue driving the growth of the sport internationally and we welcome the opportunity to work with passionate industry leaders to achieve this. 

“Innovation is central to our approach and by collaborating with MyWhoosh which shares our goals for advancing the sport through immersive technology, we know we can further accelerate fan engagement through best-in-class storytelling.” 

Matthew Smithson, Director of Esports & Game Operations at MyWhoosh, said: “Cycling is evolving with each year, so is our commitment to contribute to the cycling community. We are delighted to collaborate with WBD Sports, a true global leader in cycling storytelling. By working together, we have an opportunity to reimagine how the sport is experienced - connecting elite competition, technology, and powerful stories to reach new audiences. This partnership also allows us to scale indoor cycling, and grow a more engaged, global community around the sport we all believe in.” 

The next race featuring MyWhoosh on WBD’s channels and platforms is the AlUla Tour 2026, live across Eurosport, TNT Sports, HBO Max and discovery+ until 31 January. In 2026, WBD will show more live cycling than any other broadcaster covering the Classics, Grand Tours and World Championships in addition to every race on the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, plus Cyclocross, Track and BMX events. 

WBD’s cycling coverage in Europe in 2025 reached record numbers of viewers across all platforms. Its coverage attracted the biggest ever television audience watching the Giro d’Italia on Eurosport Germany, Spain and Denmark; a record edition of the Tour de France on Eurosport France and Denmark; and for La Vuelta a España on Eurosport Denmark and Spain. The Giro d’Italia and La Vuelta a España also attracted the largest ever streaming audiences on HBO Max and discovery+ across Europe*.  

*The partnership excludes WBD’s coverage of the Tour de France. 

*HBO Max is the streaming home of Eurosport across Europe. It will launch in the UK in March 2026 where it will become the new streaming home for TNT Sports, replacing discovery+ which currently streams cycling content.
