Fox Sports commits to Extreme Sailing Series

Australian pay-television broadcaster Fox Sports has agreed a rights deal to cover the 2018 Extreme Sailing Series.

Fox Sports has confirmed that it will broadcast all remaining events from the ongoing 2018 Series, commencing with live coverage of this weekend’s third leg in Barcelona, Spain on Sunday.

The Series then moves to four other locations around the world, including Cascais, Portugal on July 5-8; Cardiff, Wales (August 24-27); and San Diego, USA (October 18-21), before the finale kicks off in Los Cabos, Mexico on November 29.

After victory at last month’s Riva del Garda Act in Italy, Denmark’s SAP Extreme Sailing Team enters the Barcelona leg atop the competition leaderboard, followed closely by the Alinghi and Oman Air teams.
