Events.com, a global platform for creating and managing events, has been confirmed as global partner for Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) Sports’ Events division from 2025 to 2028.
As part of this multi-year agreement, Events.com will serve as a main partner across all three of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports owned and promoted global competitions: the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series, the FIM Endurance World Championship, and the FIM Speedway Grand Prix.
WBD Sports delivers these events as part of its long-term partnerships with the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) and the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM) — the global governing bodies responsible for managing all international cycling and motorcycle racing disciplines.
WBD Sports has selected Events.com for this strategic partnership to power the ticketing and fan engagement technology of the three global sports events.
By integrating the cutting-edge technology and ticketing solutions of Events.com into Warner Bros. Discovery Sports global event ecosystem, the collaboration opens the door to unique opportunities for international promotion and revenue growth. Through this partnership, Events.com also unlocks access to Warner Bros. Discovery portfolio which features iconic brands such as HBO, CNN, Discovery Channel, among many others – reaching hundreds of millions of consumers worldwide through TV, streaming services and social media.
“By securing category exclusivity sponsorship of event ticketing technology we will bring people together through unforgettable experiences at Warner Bros. Discovery Sports’ events. Every day, Events.com helps people do the things they love, and this partnership is a key step toward expressing our vision for the future of event technology,” said Stephen Partridge, president, co-founder, and COO of Events.com. “Aligning with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports’ premier cycling and motorcycling properties allows us to showcase our innovative event technology on a global stage while creating a more seamless and rewarding experience for both fans and event creators. This strategic agreement will expand our global footprint in the $936 billion event sector.”
WBD Sports Europe head of International Sales & Partnership Patrick Maitrot noted: “We are delighted to partner with Events.com. Their innovative approach to the events business and their commitment to an active lifestyle make them the perfect match for our series. With every event we deliver, we aim to stay one step ahead—setting trends and driving innovation at every turn. This collaboration not only brings on board a new strategic ally but also strengthens our ambition to keep redefining how global events are managed and promoted in the future.”
The 2025 Events season at WBD Sports is officially underway, marked by the opener of the WHOOP UCI Mountain Bike World Series in Araxá, Minas Gerais (Brazil), and the FIM Endurance World Championship, which kicked off with the iconic 24 Heures Motos in Le Mans (France). The FIM Speedway Grand Prix has also launched its season, starting with the opening round in Landshut (Germany).
Events.com has been making headlines recently due to its upcoming IPO via a SPAC deal. The company is valued at $314 million in a pre-money equity value, and it will be trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “RSVP,” according to Securities.io. Additionally, Events.com has been expanding its platform through acquisitions, such as Citifyd for seamless parking solutions and Upped Events for broader reach.
