The broadcast will feature narrators Luiz Carlos Jr, Everaldo Marques, André Azevedo and Sérgio Arenillas and commentators Alejo Muniz, Bruno Bocayuva and Jessé Mendes.
Globoplay and the ge site broadcast all the heats up to the round of 16 and, from the quarter-finals onwards, sportv3 shows live the decisive heats until the title is defined.
The G-Land stage, which returns to the circuit after 25 years, will be the first after the mid-season cut of surfers. Therefore, the first round will have eight heats with three surfers. The champion of each of them advances straight to the round of 16, while the others must go through the repechage.
