Tune in to live coverage and highlights of Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series racing from Bermuda this weekend. Expanded broadcasts through television, online and mobile devices will bring racing to the world.

“We are looking forward to an exciting weekend of racing, and through multiple broadcast platforms, viewers around the world will get a first look at Bermuda’s Great Sound and the venue for the next America’s Cup,” said Harvey Schiller, Commercial Commissioner of the 35th America’s Cup.

“New features have also been added to AC+ on the Official America’s Cup App. Fans now have a chance to watch Virtual Eye graphics and to catch up on the first two regattas with discounted rates for replays of the Portsmouth and Gothenburg events.”

On television, NBC Sports will broadcast Sunday’s races in the U.S. at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT on television and simultaneously online through NBC Sports Live Extra. Viewers can also watch live racing and replays from both days on the official America’s Cup App.

In the UK and Ireland, both days of racing will air live on BT1 Sport – at 17:00 on Saturday, 17 October and 17:30 on Sunday, Oct. 18. BT1 and BT2 Sport will run replays of racing throughout the week (check local listings). Highlight shows from the weekend will run on the BBC on Monday, Oct. 18 at 8:00 pm and Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 5:35 pm and 10:30 pm.
