IRONMAN has confirmed its broadcast schedule for the 2025 season, featuring all 18 of the IRONMAN Pro Series races across nine months of the year and kicking off with IRONMAN 70.3 Geelong in Victoria, Australia.
According to IRONMAN, the 2024 coverage saw over 36 million views across all races inclusive of live action and replays. In 2025, fans of the sport will again be able to watch racing play out at six full distance IRONMAN races and eight IRONMAN 70.3 triathlons, as well as the women’s and men’s IRONMAN World Championship triathlons in Nice, France and Kona, Hawai`i, and the two-day IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship triathlon in Marbella, Spain.
The live broadcast coverage will be available to viewers in the United States and Canada exclusively on Outside TV and for international audiences across multiple platforms. These include proseries.ironman.com, IRONMAN Triathlon YouTube, DAZN, iQIYI, and L’Equipe in France. A full re-cap will be available on YouTube, with on-demand playback also available on DAZN and Outside+ for viewers in the United States and Canada.
“The IRONMAN Pro Series captivated triathlon fans last year, drawing in both longtime enthusiasts and new supporters as we brought them closer than ever to the action,” said Julia Polloreno, Vice President of Content Production and Distribution for The IRONMAN Group. “We’re thrilled to launch our second season, expanding our reach and delivering even more exhilarating racing and unforgettable moments. This year, we’re pushing the boundaries of live coverage with cutting-edge broadcast innovations that will elevate our storytelling. Plus, with seven new host venues for the 2025 season, fans can look forward to discovering incredible new race destinations.”
Aiming to evolve the broadcast offering, for the first time this year professional athletes will be fitted with GPS trackers. These will feed back real time data and race positioning into the studio as well as being integrated into the on-screen leaderboard graphic.
Starlink satellite technology will also be used at certain races to help eliminate dark zones and ensure that viewers don’t miss the action.
The live broadcast commentary team will also see some new faces this year as 10-time IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Daniela Ryf and five-time IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 World Champion Craig Alexander will be helping to commentate.
They will join will the existing commentating team, made up of fellow G.O.A.Ts of the sport, including IRONMAN World Champions and Hall of Famers Greg Welch and Michellie Jones, as well as three-time time IRONMAN World Champion Mirinda Carfrae, and IRONMAN champions Dede Griesbauer and Michael Lovato.
Matt Lieto will also be providing analysis from both on the course and in the studio throughout the 2025 season. Meanwhile, various guest commentators will also join throughout the season to provide their own perspectives and insights to the live coverage.
