Fox Sports Network has bagged the telecast rights of Formula E. The deal spreads around 90 countries including the USA, Latin America and South East Asia.
This deal is a massive step forward for Formula E as it is a path breaking venture in the United States of America where Fox Sports is set to launch its new 24-hours channel to show the races live.
Speaking to SportsPro, Formula E chief executive Alejandro Agag said: “We are very proud to announce this major agreement between Fox and the FIA Formula E Championship and to be partnering a truly global organisation that fully believes in the future of racing.
“This global broadcasting deal will bring our Championship to nearly 90 countries and a potential 180 million households worldwide, giving our partners, our teams, and our team’s partners a platform to visualise the association to the values of this competition.
“We are particularly happy to join Fox at the time when Fox Sports 1 is being launched. America is a key market for electric cars and to show our races live in the US will be central to promoting this type of mobility.”
Fox’s Latin America president Carlos Martinez said: “With a global approach to acquiring knowledge and fast-tracking technology through the world of international racing competition, the FIA Formula E Championship is much more than just another weekend at the track – it makes racing an integral part of solving one of the world’s most daunting challenges and we are thrilled to be a part of that process.”
