FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 received around 125 hours of coverage, reaching 5 million people across over 800 planes and 150 cruise ships. It has since acquired the rights to the Rugby World Cup 2023 and the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.
Sport 24 also offers live coverage of the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, NBA, NFL (only in-flight), Formula 1, golf majors, tennis grand slams, and other sporting events. Airlines can access the broadcaster using Panasonic Avionics’ Live Television offering.
