FIM ENDURANCE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
GETS NEW PROMOTER FOR EXCITING NEW CHAPTER
For immediate release (17 September 2025): Philibert et Associes (PHA) will take over the promotion of the FIM Endurance World Championship to ensure the all-action series continues to go from strength to strength.
Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports Europe, the EWC’s promoter since 2015, will instead focus on its core business of broadcasting and distributing the series to a global audience through its broad portfolio of owned and operated channels and platforms, in addition to partnerships with other leading broadcasters around the world.
The new collaboration between PHA and the FIM, in close association with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest (ACO) and EDITIONS LARIVIÈRE, organiser of the 24 Heures Motos and Bol d’Or respectively, will drive the continued growth of motorcycle racing, serving superfans around the world, while creating new opportunities to reach and engage an even broader set of viewers.
Scott Young, EVP at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, said: “This change enables us to refocus our efforts on our core business, which is scaling coverage of FIM EWC to the widest possible audience while telling the stories of the sports, teams and riders. We are proud of the work we have done as promoter and remain committed to working with the FIM and all our partners to continue growing motorbike sports and helping them to reach new and larger audiences in our role as global broadcaster.
“On behalf of everyone at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, we warmly thank the FIM and all stakeholders involved in supporting us to organise and promote this exciting championship. We also congratulate all riders and teams who have offered endurance motorbike fans an incredible show, which was a privilege for us to promote, and will continue to be a privilege for us to broadcast.”
PHA’s Claude Michy, who also organises the 8 Hours of Spa Motos, said: “Following the decision of WBD and at the request of FIM President Jorge Viegas, the organisers PHA, the ACO and Larivière Editions came together to combine their resources and skills to become the new promoter of the FIM Endurance World Championship in order to develop and promote this discipline.”
WBD Sports Europe has shown the FIM Endurance World Championship, including the 24 Heures Motos from Le Mans, in full since 2008 and has promoted the series since 2015.
