The 35th America's Cup starts next Thursday, July 23, 2015 with the "Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series".
At least four events are scheduled in 2015, including:
Portsmouth, Great Britain - July 23-26, 2015 Gothenburg, Sweden - August 27-30, 2015 Hamilton, Bermuda - October 16-18, 2015
Four to six events are expected in 2016, including a second event in Portsmouth in July and a regatta in Chicago during the summer.
The 35th America’s Cup will be raced in Bermuda in June of 2017. | | | Re: 35th America's Cup

I can never see that show here in the USA. I have emailed CNN to request they show it here as well, but never got a response. Given the huge popularity of the last AC, with the excitement of 40 knot flying boats, I would hope ESPN or CNN or somebody here would show it. Last time, the fleet racing was more exciting (more crashes) than many of the 19 final races. Here's a Mainsail clip on the Peyron brothers racing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utuD8p_wAjk

I'm thinking it will all wind up on Youtube anyway.
On Direct TV there is a ACWS show scheduled for Tue 7/28 at 7pm on NBCSports channel 220. Maybe a highlights show? NBCS has a secondary channel 220a which shows "to be announced" in the guide but that's normal for that channel.
Have Fun

I can never see that show here in the USA. Add this extension for FF http://www.stealthy.co/ or for Chrome http://www.stealthy.co/chrome/ and learn the settings.

From http://www.nbcsports.com/nbc-sports-group-acquires-us-rights-35th-americas-cupDated Feb. 9, 2015:The NBC Sports Group has acquired the U.S. broadcast rights for the 2017 America's Cup.
According to the deal announced Monday, NBC will provide live coverage of both weekends of the America's Cup match in Bermuda in summer 2017. Other live coverage of the match and the challenger elimination series will air on NBC and NBC Sports Network. Coverage of all America's Cup World Series events in 2015 and 2016 will be on NBCSN.
Unlike in 2013, when the America's Cup Event Authority bought air time and then sold advertising, this is a joint venture in which the NBC Sports Group and the ACEA will collaborate on sponsorship and advertising sales.
The America's Cup match will be between two-time defending champion Oracle Team USA and the winner of the challenger series.

Posts: 307 maui | So, the BT Sport deal is a newer announcement than the NBC one? i am interested in a full replay of the live broadcast for european racing and live broadcast for bermuda racing. from the bt sport site; Can I order the BT Sport app and online player on its own? No, but it's included for free with BT Sport on the Sky Digital Satellite Platform and with BT Sport on BT TV. The app and online player is also available with our BT Broadband packages for just £5 a month. www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/bt-sport#sport-pickerHow do I start using the BT Sport app and online player? First, you need to download the app from the Apple App store or Google Play store. Next, you need to activate the BT Sport app on your BT account. Just log in to bt , click on 'BT Sport' and follow the instructions. When you use the app, and when you want to watch BT Sport at btsport.com, you'll need to enter your BT ID. so far we got the app on my wife's iphone but i wasn't able to get to the next step. i am not so good at navigating websites on a little phone screen....or maybe usa people are blocked from signing up with bt? | | | Re: 35th America's Cup

Keep reading that page! It says that all IPs outside of the UK will be blocked, even if you have paid for the BT Sport package. Look's like you'd have to have a BT Sports account and log in through a VPN to hide your location. How convenient! Maybe that's because they want to negotiate a separate contract for each country/continent like they did for China. Our day will come... | | | Re: 35th America's Cup
