NBC SPORTS TO PRESENT MORE THAN 100 EXCLUSIVE HOURS
OF THE 2019 IMSA SEASON
on NBCSN
2019
NBC Sports’ inaugural presentation of the IMSA WeatherTech
SportsCar Championship begins Saturday, Jan. 26, 2019, with live
coverage of the 57th Rolex 24 At DAYTONA from Daytona Beach,
Fla., as part of more than 100 hours of IMSA programming set to
air across NBC, NBCSN, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports
app throughout the upcoming 2019 season.
NBC Sports Group and IMSA announced a new, six-year media
rights agreement in which NBC Sports acquired the U.S. broadcast
rights to all IMSA races beginning in 2019.
Live race coverage of the 57th Rolex 24 At DAYTONA from the
Daytona International Speedway begins at 2 p.m. ET on NBCSN,
as a world-class field of drivers take to the 3.56-mile course to
begin the IMSA 50th anniversary celebration.
Highlighting the broadcast schedule are the three other IMSA
Michelin Endurance Cup races that includes the prestigious Mobil
1 Twelve Hours of Sebring Presented By Advance Auto Parts from
Sebring International Raceway in Sebring, Fla., on March 16.
“As we all get ready for IMSA’s much-anticipated 50th anniversary
season in 2019, our new NBC Sports media partnership promises
to promote and showcase our unique premium product in revolutionary
ways,” said IMSA CEO Ed Bennett. “Both IMSA and the
WeatherTech Championship have been experiencing incredible
momentum the last several years and this partnership should only
help elevate the sport to new heights.”
“We couldn’t be more excited to begin our IMSA coverage,” said
Jon Miller, President, Programming, NBC Sports and NBCSN.
“As the home of U.S. motorsports, we’ll showcase the uniqueness
of IMSA racing to motorsports fans everywhere, as we celebrate
the 50th anniversary of the association throughout the upcoming
season.”
NBCSN will broadcast a one-hour 2019 Season Preview on
Thursday, Jan. 24 at 2 p.m. ET. That will be followed by live coverage
of qualifying for the Rolex 24 from 3 - 5 p.m. ET. The preview
show will also re-air on Saturday, Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. as a lead-in to
the coverage of the race.
All 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship races will
be live streamed to authenticated subscribers on NBCSports.com
and the NBC Sports app — NBC Sports Group’s live streaming
product for desktops, mobile devices, tablets, and connected
TVs. NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports app are available on
the iTunes App Store, Google Play Store, Windows Store, Roku
Channel Store, Apple TV and Amazon Fire.
In total, NBC Sports will present three live racing windows on
NBC, which will consist of coverage from Canadian Tire Motorsport
Park on July 7, WeatherTech Race Laguna Seca on Sept. 15 and
the season finale from Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta with the
22nd annual Motul Petit Le Mans. NBCSN is scheduled to provide
fans more than 40 hours of coverage throughout the season.
