Supersport

Supersport is a term used for more than one sport-related concept, most notably a motorcycle racing class and a group of television channels in Africa.

In motorcycle racing, the Supersport class refers to production-based motorcycles contested in international road racing. The bikes are typically around 600cc, and the category serves as a stepping-stone to the higher-profile Superbike World Championship. Supersport races emphasize close competition and rider development, with riders and teams aspiring to move up to the premier classes in WorldSBK events.

In broadcasting, SuperSport is a brand of sports television channels in Africa, owned by MultiChoice. The networks operate on the DStv platform and offer extensive live coverage of sports such as football, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, and motorsport, along with news and analysis programming. SuperSport channels are a dominant source of international and domestic sports content in many African markets, often providing regional feeds and language options tailored to local audiences.

The term may also appear in other local or commercial contexts, but its most prominent contemporary uses are the World Superbike racing-related class and the African sports television brand operated by Multichoice.
