The Drone Racing League World Championship is set to take place on February 25th at LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins. The Drone Racing League (DRL) is the world’s premier professional Drone Racing League. The league pulls the best drone pilots from worldwide to compete.
Streaming Platforms
Fans can watch the races via many platforms, including NBC, YouTube, TikTok, Twitch, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. One thing is for certain – the drone racing league has some of the best connectivity between fans and sports, considering its wide range of streaming services.
A New Dimension of Sport
The Drone Racing League is committed to trailblazing a new path for sports, including Esports. With its high-energy events and high connectivity with fans, drone racing is on the cusp of breaking out. Drone racing market capture predicts the sport to grow at a 22% rate through 2026. The drone racing market is expected to be more than double where it currently sits by 2026.
Bettor’s Angle
It is also only a matter of time before bettors find value in esports betting markets. The high speed of Drone Racing is what I believe will attract fans. To be able to attend a full race event in three to four hours should be something that appeals to avid sports fans and bettors alike.
Miami Festivities
LoanDepot Park will be transformed into a galactic wonderland, with neon lights and a complete makeover of the stadium; it will be an immersive experience.
The Drone Racing League has visited Miami in the past as well. In 2019, DRL hosted a level 1 competition for the Allianz World Championship Season. The event consisted of four DRL rookies and eight returning veteran pilots. The event was largely to build excitement for the rest of the 2019 season.
This year, however, Miami was awarded the crown jewel event, where the champion of the Drone Racing League will be crowned.
Selecting Miami as the location of the DRL World Championship is something that will benefit the city and the league. Miami is one of the hottest locations in the world for professionals looking to work in cryptocurrency and metaverse concepts. To hold an event of this stature in a city so closely connected and integrated with technology is a perfect recipe for success.
Additionally, the recent naming rights deal agreed upon by the Drone Racing League is with Algorand, a cryptocurrency and blockchain company. With seemingly such strong support from the crypto world, the event will be a home run, although there won’t be any pitches thrown at LoanDepot that night.
