"We're thrilled to connect with and showcase Brazil's rich racing culture – combining Portuguese language and original MAVTV programming. This move is another step in our broader international expansion plans – which includes a coming Spanish-language channel that will span Latin America and Europe. As we charge into 2024, the evolution of the MAVTV brand is ramping up on multiple fronts."

Expanded Distribution and International Strategy.
MAVTV's international expansion and the growth of its FAST channel presence are pivotal steps towards providing access to motorsports content to a growing international audience.

This significant increase in reach underscores MAVTV's position as a leader in the motorsports broadcasting industry and highlights the network's success in increasing the availability of its programming on nearly all streaming platforms available today.
As part of its commitment to serving a diverse worldwide audience, MAVTV is also working on launching a dedicated Spanish language channel, MAVTV Español. This initiative aims to serve the vast Spanish-speaking world across Latin America, Europe (Spain) and the United States, further reinforcing MAVTV's dedication to global expansion.

Amazon Freevee is a streaming video service with thousands of premium movies and TV shows, including Originals and free ad-supported (FAST) Channels, available anytime, for free.
