The content package includes renewed agreements with HBA Media, the leading distributor of international horse racing rights.

“We originally launched wedotv sports in DACH in 2023 and since that time the channel has grown 10-fold, proving that free sports content is in high demand,” said Philipp Rotermund, CEO of wedotv. “We are pleased to be able to renew our licensing agreements with our established partners, and also add some fast-growing sports to our program offering. Keeping our programming current and introducing sports fans to new and exciting sports from around the world is a top priority.”
