Eurosport is teaming up with Sunrise for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, offering seven themed pop-up channels with highlights from competitions on the Swiss telco’s MySports service.
The coverage includes a wide range of different sports such as tennis, football, basketball and judo on the Eurosport channels from MySports 3 to MySports 9.
“Thanks to the excellent cooperation over many years with Warner Bros. Discovery, the owner of Eurosport, we’ll be able to show our customers the best highlights from the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on seven themed Eurosport pop-up channels,” said Matthias Krieb, Head of MySports at Sunrise.
“In Switzerland, there are 81 national sports federations and 30 partner organisations representing a wide range of disciplines – from judo and gymnastics to football and table tennis. Collectively, they include around 18,300 sports clubs with an impressive 2.2 million active members. Many of these sport lovers often don’t get to watch their sport on TV. Our cooperation with Eurosport offers these people in particular a real benefit because we’re able to broadcast many hours of their favourite sport.”
Eurosport will show the highlights from the Paris 2024 Olympics on its main channels Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2. In addition, there will be seven themed pop-up channels (Eurosport 3 to Eurosport 9), allowing fans to follow their favourite sport, such as golf, tennis, football, basketball, volleyball, martial arts as well as more traditional disciplines.
