The road to the Olympics for Australia’s best swimmers will begin on 9Now when the 2023 World Championship Swimming Trials are exclusive, live and free from June 13-18. 

Fans will receive coverage of every heat and every final across six days of action at Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, where more than 500 swimmers will be out to earn a place on the Dolphins team for July’s World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan.

The Men’s field will include world record-holder Zac Stubblety-Cook, Kyle Chalmers, Mack Horton and Cody Simpson, while our standout female swimmers including Emma McKeon, Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O’Callaghan, Bronte Campbell and Shayne Jack will all line up.

The broadcast of the World Championship Trials arranged by Swimming Australia and Nine further builds to the path the Paris 2024 Olympics following the Australian Age Championships and Australian Swimming Championships which were shown on 9Now in April.

Brent Williams, Nine’s Director of Sport, said the success of the Network’s recent swimming coverage signified just how important it is to showcase the stars of today and tomorrow in the lead up to Paris 2024.

“There’s already a host of household names in the Australian Dolphins but the emerging talent is just as exciting and Nine’s Wide World of Sports is looking forward to showcasing these champions to anyone, anywhere through 9Now,” he said.

“The World Championships in Fukuoka will be the biggest event on the swimming calendar in 2023, so we’re delighted 9Now will be providing free coverage of the Trials to swimming fans throughout Australia.”

Dr Michelle Gallen, Swimming Australia President, said: “Australia’s appetite to watch top-class swimming has never gone away and it is exciting to see the upcoming World Championships Trials will be streamed on 9Now.”

“We saw positive viewing numbers throughout the Australian Age Championships and Australian Championships earlier this year, with more than 14 million minutes viewed across the country.

“With World Championships berths on the line, the Trials will be hotly contested and it is great news for fans of Australian swimming that no matter where you are across the country, you will be able to stream the action live on 9Now.” 

The 2023 World Championships in Fukuoka, Japan will be available exclusive, live and free on the 9Network and 9Now from July 14-30.
