Hamilton, ON – Every race of the Bridgestone Canadian Superbike Championship’s two feature pro categories will be broadcast nationwide again in 2025, with TSN and its French-language affiliate RDS confirming 36 episodes for this upcoming race season.
Each network will air 18 episodes covering both the GP Bikes Pro Superbike class and newly rebranded Pro Supersport class, bringing all the action across four rounds and nine races for each of the two main pro categories.
Episodes will be produced separately for TSN and RDS, bringing dedicated French-language broadcasting for viewers in Quebec, a partnership that was launched with great success in 2024. However, RDS will now expand its coverage to include the Pro Supersport category, having only followed the feature Superbike class last season.
TSN will continue with the same broadcasting duo for 2025, as Marshall Ferguson (a notable voice of CFL football on TSN) again hosts the English-language episodes alongside longtime CSBK commentator Colin Fraser.
The broadcast duo for RDS will be confirmed at a later date, with the search still underway for Francophone announcers. All 36 broadcasts will be produced behind the scenes by CSBK senior editor Cameron McFadyen and will feature bilingual pit lane reporting from Sarah Said.
The Canadian Superbike Championship began its partnership with TSN (The Sports Network) in 1995, an affiliate of ESPN and considered to be Canada’s premier sports broadcasting service. The series expanded its coverage to include dedicated Francophone broadcasting on RDS (Réseau des Sports) in 2024. Both networks are primarily owned and operated by Bell Media.
The 2025 Bridgestone CSBK season will feature two of the most anticipated championship battles in years, with reigning Canada Cup winner Ben Young moving to Honda to defend his Superbike crown against the new-look BMW duo of Alex Dumas and Sam Guerin, while Sebastien Tremblay aims for a third Supersport championship against a loaded field of middleweight challengers.
Both classes will kick off their four-round, nine-race campaign on May 16-18 at historic Shannonville Motorsport Park, just an hour west of Kingston, Ontario.
