There is wonderful news for motorsport enthusiasts across the UK and Ireland! Sky has officially agreed to a fantastic new broadcast partnership with Formula One Management, cementing its status as the premier home of sport. This agreement ensures that from 2019 to 2024, Sky Sports will be the exclusive home of Formula 1®, guaranteeing live coverage of every single Grand Prix for the next six years.
This exciting deal brings even more choice and flexibility for fans. While Sky Sports will host the exclusive live action, there is a brilliant commitment to keeping the sport accessible. The FORMULA 1 BRITISH GRAND PRIX will remain on a 'free-to-air' basis, alongside highlights of all other races and Qualifying sessions. Furthermore, at least two other 'prime time' live races each season will be available on the soon-to-be-launched Sky Sports Mix, ensuring that the excitement reaches even more viewers.
Technology lovers have even more to celebrate. For the very first time, every race starting with the 2017 Championship will be broadcast in the stunning picture quality of Ultra High Definition via Sky Q. This next-generation home entertainment system promises to bring the speed and drama of the track into your living room with incredible clarity. This builds beautifully on the success of the award-winning Sky Sports F1® channel, which has already delighted over 13 million viewers since its launch in 2012.
This partnership represents a brilliant step forward, strengthening the coverage and innovation that fans have come to love. With dedicated channels, top-tier broadcasting talent, and new viewing options, the future of watching Formula 1® in the UK has never looked brighter. Whether you are a long-time supporter or new to the sport, there has never been a better time to tune in and enjoy the thrill of the race.
If you need any assistance finding the right package to enjoy all this fantastic sport, our friendly team is here to help. Simply call us on 0844 448 1671. The call costs 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge.
