In addition to the large-scale live broadcasts from Birmingham, some of which will cover more than ten hours each day, there will also be extensive highlight summaries to watch. Broadcasts will include (as it stands now) the inaugural Women’s Fistball Gold Medal match on Wednesday, July 14 at 2:00 a.m. CET and the Men’s Gold Medal Match on Thursday, July 14 at 9:00 p.m.
“We are very pleased that Sport1 has today published over 100 hours of free-TV and simulcast live stream coverage of the World Games 2022 on SPORT1.de and in the SPORT1 apps! This is great news, after all, we were the highlight in their TV coverage in 2017 with Fistball.”, said IFA President Jörn Verleger.
The spectacular Fistball final 2017 played between Germany and Switzerland not only thrilled the crowd of spectators in the stadium itself. The transmission of the final reached an audience of almost 300,000 viewers on the German TV Channel SPORT1. The market share of SPORT1 was at a strong 3.0% in the SPORT1 core target group of men from 14 to 49 years (M14-49). This was the best figure during all days of the SPORT1 TV coverage of The World Games 2017.
