ESPN Australia will air 11 of 17 Monster Energy Supercross, an FIM World Championship, rounds live during the 2013 season.

It’s been confirmed that in the US, supercross will enjoy the largest television package in the sport’s history. Nearly 100 hours of Monster Energy Supercross will air domestically in America across SPEED, CBS and FUEL TV.

In addition, over 150 countries around the globe will broadcast Monster Energy Supercross, including a groundbreaking live programming schedule in Australia, the Middle East and Africa on ESPN International.

“With the most robust international television package ever, will make the 2013 Monster Energy Supercross season the most watched season ever,” said Ken Hudgens, COO, Feld Motor Sports.

MotoOnline.com.au has secured a schedule for those scheduled 11 live rounds within Australia, including the season opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on 5 January. The other non-live races will be covered by highlight shows, according to our ESPN source.

The live rounds will be held on ESPN or ESPN 2, pending major conflicts. Both channels are available through pay TV companies Foxtel and Austar within Australia.
