In 2020, Eurosport UK and Eurosport France will bring fans every thrilling twist and turn exclusively after reaching an agreement with the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship to screen all 10 rounds of America’s premier motorcycle championship in the United Kingdom and France. The opening round of the season starts on Saturday at the historic Road America circuit in Wisconsin.
Starting the weekend of 26 June – round two of the 2020 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship - the series will also be available to watch on Eurosport in 54 countries and territories in Europe, meaning millions of motorsports fans across the continent will be able to watch some of the most exciting riders in the world.
This year, the MotoAmerica Superbike Championship – which will start behind-closed-doors – will be headlined by four-time and defending champion Cameron Beaubier who returns with Yamaha. Beaubier will face tough competition from the likes of experienced former MotoGP rider, Toni Elias, who has joined the M4 ECSTAR Suzuki team in an attempt to regain his 2017 MotoAmerica title.
