“The complexity of simultaneously broadcasting multiple events across numerous channels and platforms in 20 languages to millions of fans in 50 markets across Europe alone is unprecedented and only Warner Bros. Discovery has the capacity to make this happen at this scale. New stories will be told at these events and we will be there to ensure fans can experience the greatest champions writing sporting history on the biggest weekend of the year.”
