One Championship has a new, big-name broadcast partner in North
America.
The Singapore-based promotion announced on Wednesday that it has
entered into a five-year deal with Amazon Prime Video to broadcast
12 events annually in primetime live in the United States and
Canada. The first event and the full calendar are expected to be
announced soon. Those 12 events will be available exclusively on
Prime Video in the United States and Canada.
“One Championship is thrilled to work with Prime Video, one of the
largest premium sports content providers in the world, to bring our
live events closer to fans in the United States and Canada,” One
CEO Chatri Sityodtong said in a release.
“As the world’s largest martial arts organization, we believe our
collaboration with Prime Video will allow us to reach a wider North
American audience that is hungry for an authentic and
differentiated product you simply cannot get with any other
organization. We look forward to showcasing the absolute greatest
martial artists on the planet, right here in the One Championship
Circle and on Prime Video.”
Amazon Prime Video has a growing catalog of live sports offerings
to its name, including WNBA, the Seattle Storm, the New York
Yankees, and Seattle Sounders FC in the United States as well as
other leagues and games internationally.
“We are proud to add exclusive coverage of One Championship events
to our suite of marquee live sports offerings,” said Amazon vice
president of global sports video Marie Donoghue. “In addition to
offering a full suite of martial arts disciplines, One Championship
shares our mutual commitment to elevate female athletes, boasting
five reigning female world champions.”
One Championship is the first mixed martial promotion to air on
Amazon Prime. Those who are exisiting Prime subscribers will have
access to all One events with no additional fees.
