Formula E strikes new TV deal in major win for fans

Formula E will continue to be broadcast free-to-air in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the next two seasons.

Formula E has reached an agreement to extend its free-to-air coverage with British broadcaster ITV for two more seasons, taking its current deal to the end of 2027.

The partnership began in December 2024, at the start of Season 11, and will now cover seasons 12 and 13 of the all-electric championship across the UK and Ireland.

Richard Botchway, assistant commissioner of ITV Sport, said: "It’s an incredibly exciting time for Formula E and we are proud to continue our partnership with them for a further two years.

"In what is the largest season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship so far, we will continue to bring the very best action free-to-air across ITV4 and ITVX."

The upcoming campaign will see all qualifying sessions and races across the 18 rounds live on ITVX, with numerous races also broadcast on ITV4.

"Our extended partnership with ITV is fantastic news for Formula E fans across the UK and Ireland, ensuring that the thrill of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship remains free and accessible to the widest possible audience," added Jonathan Salt, VP for media at Formula E.

"With our largest calendar yet and the exciting conclusion of the GEN3 Evo era, we’re looking forward to delivering incredible action to millions of homes."
