Sky Sports has extended its deal with Formula 1 to show the championship in the UK through the 2034 season.

Sky Sports F1 has been the sole home of UK live coverage since 2019, and in 2025, according to the series, F1 had its most-watched season on the channel in the UK and Ireland.

Sky Sports in Italy is also part of the renewed deal with its renewal running through the 2032 season.

As part of the agreement, every practice, qualifying, sprint and grand prix will be available on Sky Sports and Now in the UK and on Sky Sport in Italy. F2, F3, F1 Academy and Porsche Supercup are also part of the deal.

F1 confirmed a number of statistics with the announcement. It says "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".

Thanks in part to Kimi Antonelli’s incredible start to the season, viewing figures in his home country are up 25% in on Sky Sport Italy, too, claims F1.
