The Eurosport Group has signed a long-term agreement with Infront Sports & Media to consolidate its position as a primary channel for winter sports. Eurosport viewers will be able to enjoy the most comprehensive coverage of winter sports events live on TV and on digital channels through the 2020/2021 season.

Europe's leading sports entertainment group will continue to offer live coverage of all FIS Cross-Country, Nordic Combined, Ski Jumping, Alpine Skiing, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard World Cup competitions for five seasons from 2016/17 onwards.

In line with Eurosport’s current strategy of expanding exclusivity in pillar sports and for local markets, the broadcaster has secured exclusive coverage in the UK, France, Poland, Romania and Spain for all disciplines of the FIS Alpine and Nordic Ski World Cup races and in Sweden for the American and Canadian FIS Alpine Ski World Cup races.

By retaining the rights to cover the 2019 and 2021 FIS Alpine and Nordic Skiing World Championships and the 2015 and 2017 FIS Snowboard and Freestyle Skiing World Championships, the channel will provide coverage of over 200 events every season.

The events will feature on Eurosport and Eurosport 2, as well as on Eurosport Asia-Pacific. In Europe alone over 600 hours of broadcasting will be scheduled per season for the FIS World Cups on Eurosport’s channels. The FIS World Cup events will also be available to watch on mobile, tablet, PC and connected TV through Eurosport’s online simulcast service, Eurosport Player.
