Complementing this live sports offer, Discovery will harness its expertise in real life entertainment and storytelling to bring SLT’s latest documentary series ‘Every Second Counts’ to discovery+ along with additional shoulder content for fans.

Super League Triathlon CEO, Michael D’hulst, said: “Super League Triathlon’s mission is to bring professional triathlon to a mainstream audience and give our amazing athletes and sport the best platform to grow. Partnering with Discovery is a significant milestone as it allows us to work with a fantastic company who, like Super League, are known for innovation and delivering amazing content to sports fans.
