The WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series can now be streamed in more countries around the world as Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe joins forces with streaming partner Staylive.

Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe partners with OTT platform provider Staylive, a Spring Media Company, to increase the distribution and availability of its flagship cycling and motorcycle owned-promoted events globally.

This collaboration will unite and spread the passion for some of the most exhilarating sports events, including the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, with a highly anticipated 2024 season kicking off this week in Mairiporã, Brazil.

Fans will also be treated to a calendar filled with other live events, highlights, and associated shoulder programming, which includes the FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC), FIM Speedway Grand Prix (SGP) and UCI Track Champions League.  

Founded in 2013, Staylive is a Swedish streaming solutions company that delivers over 1,000 live sports events per week to a global audience. Its streaming platform powers governing bodies, federations, leagues, and sporting clubs worldwide.

This agreement builds on the extensive reach of the WBD Sports events’ portfolio focused on cycling and motorcycling action.

Matt Parker, CCO of Staylive, said: "Partnering with WBD Sports for this historic season of cycling and motorcycling events is a testament to Staylive's technical capabilities and commercial expertise. We are immensely proud to work with and alongside industry powerhouse, WBD Sports, as they secure new and innovative ways to maximise content distribution and reach. This collaboration highlights our ability to meet the high technical demands of streaming world-class sports events, while enhancing the fan experience across the globe.”
