🌊 About The Ocean Race

The Ocean Race is the ultimate test of a team in sport and a global leader in sustainability. Over the past years, it has evolved into a platform that harnesses the emotion, reach, and global appeal of sport to advocate for healthier oceans. This transformation has amplified its mission to inspire action for ocean health through impactful storytelling and meaningful engagement.

At the heart of The Ocean Race is its historic Round The World race—an iconic event celebrating its next edition in 2027. Alongside it, new formats such as The Ocean Race Atlantic 2026 expand the Race’s presence across up to 18 Host Cities over a four-year cycle.

The introduction of Onboard Live—a groundbreaking 24/7 live broadcast solution in collaboration with Warner Bros. Discovery (TNT Sports and discovery+)—marks a new era in sports storytelling. Fans can now experience offshore racing in real time from the most remote corners of the world, bringing the emotion, intensity, and purpose of The Ocean Race to global audiences like never before.
