How to watch the FIM Superbike World Championship (WSBK) online in Australia

The 2020 edition of the Superbike World Championship is underway. This is the 33rd Superbike season, with some of the best riders in the world battling it out on tuned versions of motorcycles available for sale to the general public.

Each round of the championship features two full-length races and a recent inclusion, the Superpole race. This is an additional 10-lap sprint. The results of all three races are combined for each round. At the end of the year, a World Championship is awarded for both a rider and a manufacturer.

Heading into 2020, record-breaking Northern Irishman Jonathan Rea is the 5-time defending series champion, along with his manufacturer, Kawasaki.
