SailGP has announced a new free-to-air partnership with the Seven Network for the KPMG Australia Sail Grand Prix in Sydney.

The new partnership will allow Seven to broadcast the event live and free, with a 90-minute live broadcast airing on 7mate on both days of racing.

Seven’s broadcast video-on-demand platform 7plus will also show all season highlights and the final three events of the season, including the Grand Final in San Francisco.

This live free-to-air partnership is in addition to SailGP’s ongoing partnership with Foxtel, which will continue to broadcast all Season 3 events live across Fox Sports and Kayo.

SailGP’s docu-series Racing on the Edge will also be available on Fox Sports, Kayo Freebies and 7plus.

Commenting on the partnership, Australia SailGP driver and CEO, Tom Slingsby, said: “It’s a huge achievement that in just its third season SailGP is forging partnerships with some of the biggest global names in sports broadcasting.”

“Sydney was the destination for the first ever SailGP in February 2019 and this February’s event will mark the fourth time SailGP has been staged on iconic Sydney Harbour.

“This latest partnership with Seven highlights the significant commercial growth of SailGP in the Asia Pacific region and the confidence our partners have in our league,” he said.

The announcement comes after the Australian SailGP Team partnered with SKYY Vodka.
