Sky in the UK & Ireland to remain the home of Formula 1 until the end of the 2034 season
Sky and NOW are the only place to watch live coverage of every practice, qualifying, sprint and Grand Prix
Partnership includes Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 ACADEMY and Porsche Supercup

Sky and Formula 1 have today announced a new multi-year agreement giving Sky Sports viewers in the UK and Ireland, and Sky Sport viewers in Italy, exclusive access to all the action from every Formula 1 race weekend through into the next decade.

In the UK and Ireland, where 2025 was the most watched F1 season ever on Sky Sports, fans will be able to watch all the action through to the end of 2034 season, with Sky Sports’ rights in Italy running through to the end of the 2032 season.

Under the new agreement that adds a further five seasons to the existing partnerships in both markets, Sky will continue to show every practice, qualifying, sprint and Grand Prix on Sky Sports (UK and I) and Sky Sport (Italy), and streaming service NOW.

In the UK, highlights of every Grand Prix and live coverage of the British Grand Prix will continue to be made available free-to-air. Sky Sport will continue to elevate its Formula 1 storytelling in Italy by airing every Grand Prix live on the dedicated Sky Sport F1 channel, complemented by free-to-air coverage on TV8, including the live broadcast of every Italian Grand Prix, an approach that expands the championship’s visibility.
