Samsung TV Plus has signed a multi-year agreement with MotoAmerica and V10 Entertainment to become the exclusive free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) home for every live MotoAmerica race across the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
The partnership will launch with coverage of the 84th DAYTONA 200 on March 6, airing on Samsung TV Network (STN), the platform’s flagship channel. A dedicated 24/7 FAST channel, MotoAmericaTV, is slated to debut later this spring, featuring more than 200 hours of racing content annually, including live races, full replays, select practice sessions and qualifiers, archive, and behind-the-scenes programming.
For the first time, every MotoAmerica class will be televised, including the all-women’s Royal Enfield Build.Train.Race. category and the premier Superbike class, which marks 50 years of production-based motorcycle racing in 2026.
Salek Brodsky, senior vice president and global head of Samsung TV Plus, said the deal expands the platform’s live sports footprint. “The most enduring sports racing segments are driven, literally and figuratively, by passionate fans,” Brodsky said. “This launch, along with our partnership with MotoAmerica and V10, marks an exciting expansion into new sports franchises with millions of viewers. As Samsung TV Plus continues to broaden its live sports portfolio, this new content strengthens our lineup by providing an immersive, accessible, destination for motorcycle racing.”
MotoAmerica COO Chuck Aksland described the agreement as a milestone for the series. “Having a company like Samsung get behind MotoAmerica is significant for our continued growth and provides a unique opportunity, beginning with the Daytona 200, to bring MotoAmerica to the Samsung TV Plus audience of more than 100 million monthly users,” Aksland said. “MotoAmerica live races will take centre stage on the Samsung TV Network, marking an exciting new chapter for the sport.”
MotoAmerica’s 2026 season will span 10 race weekends from March until September across seven premier classes and 10 states. Select races throughout the season will also air on STN, with full coverage available on MotoAmericaTV.
The agreement comes as Samsung TV Plus reports more than 100 million monthly active users globally and continues to expand its live sports portfolio. The service offers 4,300 ad-supported linear channels across 30 countries.
V10 Entertainment, a Clarion Capital-backed media group with 44 owned FAST and digital channels, will partner on distribution and channel operations as part of the agreement. The company programmes more than 250 hours of original content annually and manages a digital library of more than 2.8 million assets.
