Signing agreement with ESPN to resume F1 broadcasting in the US



Formula One will continue to be broadcast in the US on the ESPN network for the next three years as part of a new contract between the sport and the broadcaster.

ESPN’s commercial free-to-play screenings will continue, with at least 16 races airing on ABC and ESPN each season.

The new deal also includes additional direct-to-consumer rights, allowing ESPN to roll out content in a variety of ways over the next three years.

The extended relationship comes during F1’s boom in the US, with a race in Miami joining this year’s schedule and Las Vegas hosting a new one in 2023.
