Sky Sports has just announced an extension of the TV rights for Formula 1 until 2029 in the UK and Ireland.
Sky Sports have also announced extensions to Sky Italia and Sky Deutschland deals, who will broadcast Formula 1 in their respective markets until 2027, but with greater exclusivity.
The deal will mean Sky Sports will show all Practice, Qualifying and Racing live, with home nation and highlights shared on free to air.
We are incredibly proud of our long-term partnership with Sky, and we are delighted to announce that we will continue working together until 2029, a very important commitment from Sky.
Since the beginning of our relationship in 2012, we have both strived to bring the excitement, emotion and drama of Formula 1 to our traditional fans while engaging new and more diverse audiences.
Formula 1 has seen huge growth in recent years, and I can’t think of a better partner to continue to reach our fans with dedicated, expert and in-depth coverage.
Sky not only brings fans live coverage but a range of behind-the-scenes access and content that brings F1 to life. We are hugely excited about the future of the partnership and the journey of Formula 1.”
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1
