The Drone Champions League, recognised as the world championship of drone racing, offers a platform for professional teams to compete against eachother on a global stage. The innovative race series blurs the lines between virtual and reality to serve up a new era of sports entertainment. Wearing VR-Goggles, the pilots maneuver racing drones with more than 160 km/h over the tracks. Going into it's sixth season, the DCL once again attracts the best pilots in the world to take part in spectecular real-life and virtual settings.
“We are thrilled to start the sixth season of DCL, which will be the first ever hybrid season in drone racing! By doing both virtual and real-life races, we are so happy to bring the sport of drone racing to our fans across the globe again, especially in these challenging times! The growth in audience and engagement throughout last year has shown to us the combining of both worlds fascinates not only our teams and ourselves, but ultimately our community too.
