The Drone Racing League (DRL) is a first-person view (FPV) drone racing competition that airs on ESPN. The show premiered in 2016 and has rapidly gained a following among drone enthusiasts and sports fans alike. The show features some of the world's best drone pilots who compete against each other on a series of challenging courses, all while flying custom-built racing drones equipped with high-definition cameras that provide an immersive experience for viewers.

The action takes place in various locations around the globe, including abandoned malls, football stadiums, and other unique venues. Each race is designed to test the limits of the pilots' skills and the capabilities of their drones. The courses are constructed with a combination of elements such as tunnels, twists, turns, and jumps, and the drones reach speeds of up to 90 mph.

The pilots use remote controls to maneuver their drones around the course while wearing specialized goggles that show them what the drone sees in real-time. They must react quickly to obstacles and guide their drones precisely through tight spaces to avoid collisions and complete each race as fast as possible.

The show features a league format with multiple races, each leading up to the season finale. Points are earned for each win, and the top-performing pilots qualify for the playoffs. The winner of the championship receives a cash prize and the title of DRL World Champion.

In addition to the races, the show also includes behind-the-scenes glimpses of the pilots' lives and training regimens. Viewers get to know the pilots as individuals, learning about their backgrounds, techniques, and motivations for competing.

The high-speed action and thrilling aerial sequences have helped to make The Drone Racing League a hit with audiences. The show's unique blend of technology, athleticism, and adrenaline has attracted fans from all walks of life and has helped to propel drone racing into the mainstream.

In 2017, the DRL expanded its reach by introducing the DRL Simulator, a video game that allows fans to experience the thrill of drone racing from the comfort of their own homes. The game features realistic physics and challenging courses based on real-life DRL tracks.

Since its debut, The Drone Racing League has continued to push the boundaries of what's possible with drone racing, introducing new elements like team-based competitions and other innovations. The show has helped to establish drone racing as a legitimate sport and has inspired a new generation of pilots and enthusiasts around the world.

Overall, The Drone Racing League is a high-octane, action-packed show that offers a new and exciting form of entertainment for sports fans and tech enthusiasts alike. The combination of cutting-edge technology and skilled pilots creates an experience that is truly unique and unforgettable.

The Drone Racing League is a series that ran for 1 seasons (15 episodes) between October 23, 2016 and on ESPN
