Sky and F1 will also continue their agreements in Italy and Germany until 2027, extending its exclusivity in both regions with all races on their respective Sky channels.
In the UK, Sky bought the full broadcast rights from the BBC for the 2012 season – although the BBC retained a highlights package until late 2015, when Channel 4 acquired them for 2016 and beyond.
The deal extends the live F1 pay-TV lockdown until the end of 2029 at the earliest, although home races in each Sky territory will remain free.
“We are incredibly proud of our long-term partnership with Sky, and we are delighted to announce that we will continue to work together until 2029, a very important commitment from Sky,” said Stefano Domenicali, CEO of F1.
“Since our relationship began 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 tremendous 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 offers live coverage to fans, but also a range of behind-the-scenes access and content that brings F1 to life. We are extremely excited about the future of the partnership and the journey of Formula 1.”

All Sky platforms have seen an increase in views on their F1 channels for this season, especially as the championship continues to gain momentum due to the popularity generated by Netflix. Drive to survive.
Britain’s Sky Sports F1 also received a BAFTA for its coverage of the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Final, in which Max Verstappen controversially beat Lewis Hamilton for the title.
As part of the deal, Sky will continue to show Formula 2, Formula 3 and the Porsche Supercup when the events appear on the F1 undercard.
“Since Sky joined Formula 1 in 2012, the scale and quality of their F1 content has steadily increased,” said Ian Holmes, F1’s Media Content and Rights Director.
“This new agreement with Sky reflects our long-term partnership and shared ambition to develop Formula 1 to new audiences and markets.
“Over the past few years we have returned to historic sites such as Zandvoort and staged exciting new races such as Miami and of course Las Vegas next year. I am delighted that Sky will continue to be with us throughout this exciting era of our sport.”
