Sky has sealed a new long-term deal to deliver coverage of Formula 1 to its customers in the U.K., Ireland, and Italy.
The U.K./Ireland deal runs through the end of the 2034 season, while Italy has exclusive rights until the end of 2023. The deal delivers live coverage of every practice, qualifying, sprint and Grand Prix, and includes Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 ACADEMY and Porsche Supercup.
Highlights of every Grand Prix and live coverage of the British Grand Prix will continue to be made available free-to-air in the U.K. In Italy, Sky Sport will provide every Grand Prix live on the dedicated Sky Sport F1 channel, complemented by free-to-air coverage on TV8.
Dana Strong, group CEO of Sky, said, “We’re proud of the role we’ve played in supporting the sport’s growth through world-class storytelling, innovation and long-term investment. This new agreement secures Sky as the home of Formula 1 for years to come, as the sport enters an exciting era with more British talent on the grid and rising stars like Kimi Antonelli.”
Stefano Domenicali, president and CEO of Formula 1, added, “Sky has always been a dedicated, trusted and passionate partner since we began our relationship many years ago. Their world-leading approach to live broadcasting, content creation, and behind-the-scenes analysis led by a truly amazing group of on-screen talent has made the difference in continuing to grow our sport in the U.K., Ireland, and Italy, and I am delighted we will be taking our partnership into the next decade.”
