We are delighted to announce that the 2021 World Singles Championships will have a full centre court free live stream for the last 3 days of the tournament (from Friday to Sunday). This will allow you to watch all the biggest matches from wherever you are across the world.
Tournament Director Esther Dübendorfer and her team deserve huge credit for being in a position to offer such a live stream which will greatly enhance the World Championships experience, particularly for those who are unable to be there to watch all the action live.
The live stream and innovative new live scoring system are being provided through a collaboration between the FIR and the European Racketlon Union alongside streamster.tv who were behind the development of this high-quality live stream used at last month’s SWT GRAWE sidebyside 15. Austrian Open for the first time.
The live blog will also be making its return as we look to bring our most comprehensive World Championship coverage so far.
The Racketlon World Singles Championship takes place at SIHLSPORTS in Switzerland from October 21-24.
World Singles Championship Live Stream
The live stream coverage will show all centre court matches from Friday until Sunday, with many of the matches also having live commentary (with guest commentators from across the worldwide Racketlon community).
All matches will also be available on catch up if you are unable to watch live. We’ll be providing detailed daily schedules to help you keep up with every single match.
FIR President, Duncan Stahl: “The FIR is delighted that we can once again partner with streamster. tv and the ERU, so that we can all fulfil our core aim of supporting and promoting international Racketlon in the most effective way possible. It will help give players and fans from around the world a fantastic way of experiencing and enjoying this year’s world championships which have some of the most exciting and talked about potential matchups for many years.”

Return of the Live Blog
With the live stream coverage not beginning until midday on Friday, Thursday’s coverage will be centred around the return of the live blog. This way, you can keep up with everything happening on Thursday as the Junior and Senior classes take place.
The live blog will be running on Racketlon.net, with coverage starting at 10:00am and running until the end of the final match on Thursday. This ensures that you have comprehensive coverage of everything that happens on every single day of the World Singles Championship.
