Sky Sports To Show Every F1 Race Live From 2019 Until 2024

 
Sky Sports has extended its partnership with Formula 1 to remain the home of F1 in the UK and Ireland until 2024. As part of the new deal, Sky has agreed a new broadcast partnership with Formula One Management, strengthening its position as the home of sport offering unrivalled choice for fans.

Sky Sports F1 will continue to be the only place to watch each Grand Prix weekend live for the next three seasons in the UK, with 21 races live in 2016 beginning with last weekend's FORMULA 1 ROLEX AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX.  The new agreement builds on the success of Sky Sports F1 since the launch of the award-winning channel in 2012. More than 13 million viewers have already enjoyed its live coverage with many more following F1 across Sky Sports' digital outlets. CEO Formula One Group, Bernie Ecclestone said: “I am delighted that we will continue to work together. Sky's commitment to the sport and standard of coverage is second to none.

Managing director of Sky Sports Barney Francis said “This is a brilliant deal that takes Sky's partnership with F1 to the next level. Since 2012, we have demonstrated unrivalled commitment to F1, offering fans innovations including a dedicated channel and the very best broadcasting talent. We are absolutely delighted that we are strengthening our coverage for viewers even further, with live and exclusive F1 from 2019 and the chance to watch in Ultra High Definition for the first time from next season. We are pleased to support F1 and look forward to working with them to progress, develop and enhance coverage of the championship during the agreement”.

The new deal further strengthens Sky Sports' position as the home of sport in the UK and Ireland, offering viewers the very best choice across seven channels and award-winning digital outlets. This year, viewers can enjoy more of the best matches from the Premier League, all four golf majors and the Ryder Cup, England Test cricket and Summer and Autumn International rugby union
