Breaking news: Formula 1 stays on Sky until 2034 (2032 in Italy)
Sky Sport Italia has long embraced the slogan “the home of sport”, a platform that brings together some of the most prestigious events in global motorsport. Within this landscape, Formula 1 will continue to represent a central pillar of its programming, as the broadcaster has secured a new agreement that guarantees coverage of the pinnacle of four-wheel racing until 2032 in Italy.
The renewal, which is set to be officially announced today, is part of a broader operation involving Sky UK, the parent company of the group, which has extended its own broadcasting rights through to 2034. This extension further strengthens Formula 1’s presence within the Sky ecosystem, reinforcing a partnership that has become one of the primary reference points for fans over the years.
Formula 1 will therefore continue to be broadcast on Sky, with dedicated coverage on the Sky Sport F1 channel (currently channel 207). This ensures continuity in the coming years and confirms the broadcaster’s central role in delivering comprehensive coverage of the World Championship.
The agreement also reflects the strong commitment of Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali, who has consistently supported maintaining a stable and high-quality broadcasting partner.
Negotiations were conducted away from the spotlight, with Liberty Media keen to quickly shut down speculation regarding potential new entrants into the broadcasting rights landscape, including interest from platforms like Amazon Prime Video, following trends seen in the United States market.
The desire to protect the product and ensure long-term continuity ultimately led to a significant acceleration in talks in recent weeks, culminating in a deal that secures Formula 1’s future on Sky for years to come.
The long-term extension of the broadcasting partnership between Formula 1 and Sky ensures that fans across Europe can rely on familiar, high-quality coverage for the next decade. As the sport continues its global expansion, maintaining a stable and dedicated home for its content remains a top priority for Liberty Media’s leadership. The renewal of the F1 and Sky deal provides the necessary security and continuity to keep the championship’s narrative growing across its most traditional and passionate markets.
