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.Dana Strong, Group CEO Sky, said: “We’re proud of the role we’ve played in supporting the sport’s growth through world-class storytelling, innovation and long-term investment. This new agreement secures Sky as the home of Formula 1 for years to come, as the sport enters an exciting era with more British talent on the grid and rising stars like Kimi Antonelli. I want to thank Stefano and the F1 team for our continued partnership, which we’re excited to build on in the years ahead."Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1, said: “Sky has always been a dedicated, trusted and passionate partner since we began our relationship many years ago. Their world leading approach to live broadcasting, content creation, behind the scenes analysis led by a truly amazing group of on-screen talent has made the difference in continuing to grow our sport in the UK, Ireland and Italy and I am delighted we will be taking our partnership into the next decade.

Total viewing has increased by 90%, with under-35s up 120%, and female viewership has more than doubled. In the past three seasons alone (2023–2025), viewing has grown by 14%, culminating in a record-breaking 2025 season with 162 million viewer hours. Buoyed by the strong performances of Ferrari and Kimi Antonelli respectively, viewership in Italy has opened with a 25% rise in the 2026 season. The audience for the Italian driver’s first victory at the Chinese Grand Prix drew 1.2 million viewers live on Sky, along with a further 1.4 million on TV8.Sky’s coverage has continued to push the boundaries within the sport, with award-winning analysis via the SkyPad and innovation in the form of its Ghost Car feature which allows viewers to see in remarkable detail how key battles across the grid play out. The introduction of onboard cameras as well as access to enhanced real-time data has also brought fans even closer to the action, allowing them to experience a race from inside the car of their favourite driver. The partnership with F1 adds to Sky’s market-leading portfolio in the UK and Ireland with more top-quality sport than anywhere else, with most of Sky’s sport rights secured until near the end of the decade. That includes 1,500 games from the Premier League, Women’s Super League, EFL and SPFL; year-round coverage of both tennis and darts, every shot from the golf Majors, home men’s and women’s international England cricket, and more action from the NFL, Netball Super League and rugby league.
