ONE Championship has signed an exclusive 5-year broadcast deal with Amazon’s Prime Video on-demand streaming service in the US and Canada.
Prime Video will broadcast a minimum of 12 live ONE events annually in US prime time, with the first event to be announced later this year.
“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,” said ONE chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong in a press release.
“As the world’s largest martial arts organisation, 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 can’t get with any other organisation.
“We look forward to showcasing the absolute greatest martial artists on the planet, right here in the ONE Championship Circle and on Prime Video.”
Singapore-based ONE was previously broadcast on TNT in the US, but the deal expired this year.
