Formula E strikes new TV deal in major win for fans

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."
