DRL CEO and founder Nicholas Horbaczewski started the league in 2015 after serving as the chief revenue officer of Tough Mudder. Horbaczewski purchased a company called DroneKraft to develop an internal technology department.{{cite web|url=https://uproxx.com/sports/allianz-drone-racing-league-third-year-nicholas-horbaczewski/|title=The Drone Racing League Is Speeding To New Heights In Its Third Season|last=Edwards|first=Konata|date=26 March 2018|publisher=Uproxx|access-date=30 August 2018|quote=Enter Nicholas Horbaczewski, who before starting the league found success as the Chief Revenue Officer of Tough Mudder.

Horbaczewski claims that at its core, DRL is a technology company.{{cite web|url=https://www.si.com/tech-media/2017/01/25/drone-racing-league-ceo-technology-company-broadcast-deals|title=Drone Race League CEO: We're a technology company|last=Burns|first=Mark J.|date=25 January 2017|work=Sports Illustrated|access-date=13 September 2018}} DRL's expert engineers hand-built a fleet of identical racing drones, developed a proprietary radio system to enable DRL drones to race through large scale courses through eight feet of concrete,{{cite web|url=https://uproxx.com/sports/allianz-drone-racing-league-third-year-nicholas-horbaczewski/3/|title=The Drone Racing League Is Speeding To New Heights In Its Third Season|last=Edwards|first=Konata|date=26 March 2018|publisher=Uproxx|access-date=13 September 2018}} and created a realistic drone racing sim, the DRL Simulator.{{cite web|url=https://www.wetalkuav.com/drone-racing-league-simulator/|title=Drone Racing League Launches 2018 Tryouts & Simulator|last=Murson|first=Malek|date=15 November 2017|publisher=WeTalkUAV.Com|access-date=13 September 2018}}

According to Horbaczewski, DRL "develop[s] all of our drones in-house"{{cite web|last1=Wade|first1=Andrew|title=Drone racing lights up motorsport|url=https://www.theengineer.co.uk/drone-racing-lights-up-motorsport|publisher=The Engineer}} in order to "create a level playing field" for races.{{cite web|last1=Vincent|first1=James|title=Liftoff Inside the $20 million plan to take drone racing mainstream|url=https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/20/15839700/drone-racing-drl-world-championship-london-sport|work=The Verge}} For Horbaczewski, "it was important to make sure that when you saw a pilot win a race, you knew that was the best pilot, not necessarily the person flying a faster drone."

All DRL drones are identical in spec, but are covered in hundreds of ultra-bright LEDs to help viewers easily follow the action. As described by Wired, the LED rigs also "lend a Tron-like aesthetic to the races."{{cite web|last1=Franklin-Wallis|first1=Oliver|title=Drone racing is set to become the world's next big sport|url=https://www.wired.co.uk/article/drone-racing-league-sports|work=Wired |date=23 May 2016}}

Built for speed rather than stability, DRL drones differ from commercial drones. Beginning in 2020, a variant of the latest model flown by DRL pilots will be available to the public.{{Cite web|url=https://www.engadget.com/2019/08/09/drone-racing-league-racer4-street-kickstarter/|title=Drone Racing League is making its Racer4 UAV available to all|website=Engadget|access-date=2019-08-14}}

Since its launch, DRL pilots have flown three types of drones: the Racer2 in 2016, the Racer3 in 2017–2018, and the Racer4 beginning in 2019.

In 2016, DRL traveled with a fleet of 100 Racer2 drones to its races. The Racer2 had two or three minutes of battery life, topping out at 80 mph. The drone weighed slightly heavier than a normal racing drone due to the LED lights covering each craft, needed for visibility and pilot identification.{{cite web|last1=Moynihan|first1=Tim|title=The Insane, 80 MPH Drone Racing League Launches With Wrecks Aplenty|url=https://www.wired.com/2016/02/video-the-drone-racing-league-officially-launches|work=Wired}}

Racer2 drones also had exposed electronics that made them more susceptible to damage from crashes.{{cite web|last1=Tepper|first1=Fitz|title=Drone Racing League's new drone will go 0-80 MPH in under a second|url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/04/06/drone-racing-leagues-new-drone-will-go-0-80-mph-in-under-a-second|publisher=Tech Crunch}}

In 2017, DRL introduced the Racer3 drone, flown by DRL pilots throughout the 2017 and 2018 DRL Allianz World Championship Seasons. The Racer3 is more powerful and agile than the Racer2 and can accelerate from 0 to 80 mph in less than a second and fly as high as 6-8 kilometers.{{cite web|last1=Darcy|first1=Kieran|title=DRL's next-gen Racer3 drone combines speed, performance|url=http://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/19100909/drone-racing-league-introduces-next-generation-racing-drone|publisher=ESPN|date=7 April 2017}}

The Racer3 has 16 pounds of thrust (~7:1 thrust as it weight ~1 kg, good fpv quads are ~12:1) with a top speed of around 90 mph.{{cite web|last1=Trew|first1=James|title=ESPN's Drone Racing League returns with faster, bigger races|url=https://www.engadget.com/2017/04/06/espn-drone-racing-league-racer3|work=Engadget}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2017/12/08/drone-racing-league-hopes-a-uav-will-land-under-your-christmas-tree.html|title=Drone Racing League hopes a UAV will land under your Christmas tree|last=Juang|first=Mike|date=9 December 2017|publisher=CNBC|access-date=18 September 2018|quote=While the drone maxes out at a reasonable 25 miles per hour, it seems absolutely pedestrian compared with the 90 mph achievable with the League's professional Racer3.}}

Unlike the Racer2, the Racer3 has a hard shell or canopy to protect it from crashes.

DRL brought a fleet of identical 600 Racer3 drones to every race in 2018.{{cite web|url=https://www.designboom.com/technology/drl-drone-racing-league-racer3-05-02-2018/|title=How 'the Da Vinci of drones' Ryan Gury designed the DRL Racer3|last=Andrews|first=Zach|date=2 May 2018|work=Designboom|access-date=13 September 2018}}

In July 2017, Ryan Gury and his team of drone engineers designed and hand built the DRL RacerX, the former Guinness World Record holder for the Fastest Ground Speed by a Battery-powered Remote-controlled Quadcopter. Weighing less than two pounds, the RacerX hit a top speed of 179.6 miles per hour, the official speed was recorded as 163.5 miles per hour.

Earlier prototypes of the RacerX burst into flames when hitting its peak acceleration due to the amount of power it used.{{cite web|last1=Marie Segarra|first1=Lisa|title=This Racing Drone Just Set a Guinness World Speed Record|url=http://fortune.com/2017/07/14/fastest-drone-guinness-world-record|work=Fortune}}

In the 4th season, DRL introduced the all new Racer4 drone. While visually similar to the Racer3, the Racer 4 boasts larger props at the expense of added weight.

To broaden the accessibility of drone racing, DRL created the DRL Simulator, which helps pilots fly FPV better in real life, and is downloadable on Steam.{{cite web|url=https://mashable.com/2017/11/15/drone-racing-league-simulator/#5Rvmwto7wgqU|title=Drone simulator is as close to the real thing as you can get without spending hundreds of dollars|last=Beck|first=Kellen|date=15 November 2017|publisher=Mashable|access-date=13 September 2018}} The sim features a 50-mission tutorial to help teach aspiring pilots how to fly before buying a real drone.

The league's 2017 television season kicked off on June 20 on ESPN and was broadcast in more than 75 countries with additional broadcast partners including Sky Sports, ProSiebenSat.1, Disney XD and OSN. The 2017 season included 16 hours of DRL original content.

Races in 2017 took place at the Miami Dolphins NFL Sunlife Stadium, an emergency response and disaster training center in Atlanta, a float storage warehouse in New Orleans, a paper mill in Boston (located in Fitchburg, MA), an abandoned motorcycle factory in Munich and in London's iconic Alexandra Palace.{{cite web|last1=Murison|first1=Malek|title=2017 Drone Racing League Season Starts Tonight|url=https://dronelife.com/2017/06/20/2017-drone-racing-league|website=dronelife}} The Allianz World Championship held at Alexandra Palace became the first drone racing event to have featured betting markets at Paddy Power Betfair.

Defending champion Jet beat out fellow pilot Gab707 in the last heat of the final, claiming the title of the world's fastest drone racer for a second year in a row.{{cite web|title=Colorado Man Named World's Fastest Drone Racer 2nd Year In A Row|url=http://denver.cbslocal.com/2017/08/20/jet-jordan-temkin-drone-racing|publisher=CBS Denver}}{{More citations needed|date=April 2019}}

Dunkan became the first DRL pilot to win three levels in a single season and the only pilot to win three levels consecutively.

Jet's run as DRL's only champion (having won both the 2016 and 2017 seasons) ended when he failed to accumulate enough points during the 2018 DRL World Championship Finals.

Paul "Nurk" Nurkkala, reaching his first World Championship Finals, beat fellow pilot Gab707 and rookie pilot Nubb to win the Golden Heat and clinch the 2018 DRL World Championship title.

In his breakout season, rookie Alex Vanover took the World Championship title in Phoenix, Arizona. He secured enough seasonal points to clinch the world championship title with three levels wins before the end of the season.

The season started at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Florida, where Vanover took his first level win at his debut DRL race. 2018 world champion Nurk would go on to win level two.

At Allianz Field in St. Paul Minnesota, Vanover would take his second level win of the season, winning level three. In level four, Gab707 would take the win.

At Chase Field in Phoenix Arizona, 2018 runner up Nubb took the level five win, in front of the first live audience DRL race in the United States. Vanover would come back to win level six, with enough points to clinch the 2019 season.

The 2020 season was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and instead they planned a fundraising tournament called the 2020 FanDuel DRL SIM Racing Cup, to raise funds for DirectRelief's COVID-19 relief efforts.

DRL recruits drone pilots from around the globe to compete on original courses. Two groups of six pilots compete during separate rounds of semifinals, and the fastest three pilots from each group move on to the finals. The semifinals and finals races each include multiple heats that each last about a minute long. Pilots are awarded points based on their placement in each heat and the fastest pilot with the most points at the end wins the race, earning a guaranteed spot in the World Championship finale.{{cite web|title=Drone Racing League announces 2016 circuit opening|url=https://www.si.com/more-sports/2016/01/26/drone-racing-league-announces-2016-circuit|work=Sports Illustrated}}{{cite web|url=https://dronelife.com/2018/05/02/drl-2018-season/|title=DRL Announces 2018 Season Partners, Race Locations & Pilots|last=Murison|first=Malek|date=2 May 2018|publisher=DroneLife|access-date=13 September 2018}}

DRL films all of its races for a broadcast and digital audience. In order to capture racing quad-copters that fly almost 90 mph, DRL designs and manages the entire drone racing and broadcast ecosystem for its events, including the timing and length of races.{{cite web|last1=Pennington|first1=Adrian|title=Drone racing ready to go live|url=http://www.svgeurope.org/blog/headlines/drone-racing-ready-to-go-live|publisher=Sports Video Group Europe}}

The DRL media team uses 50 to 60 cameras per event and the drone itself has two cameras: an SD low latency analogue HS1177 600TVL for pilot navigation and a GoPro Session 5 for post-production, both of which operate automatically with no remote controls.

The races are not broadcast live; they are post-produced for broadcast.
