The electrifying Extreme E racing series will persist in its broadcast on ITV1, ITV4, and ITVX.
ITV has successfully secured a multi-year extension to its broadcasting agreement with Extreme E, ensuring the continuation of the electric car racing series on its channels.
The series, which has been airing live on ITV1, ITV4, and ITVX since its inception in 2021, will maintain its terrestrial exclusivity, a privilege it has enjoyed since 2022. In addition to the live broadcasts, ITVX will continue to provide on-demand highlights for fans who want to catch up on the action.
Managing Director of Extreme E, Ali Russell, said:
“I am absolutely delighted that we have extended our broadcast partnership with ITV. There is great passion for motorsport in the UK and I am thrilled that we will continue to work with ITV."
“This gives us the platform to showcase our pioneering, gender equal championship – a world-first for motorsport – to a wide, engaged audience, and also raise awareness of the climate crisis and the need for sustainable solutions to climate change."
ITV Director of Sport, Niall Sloane, said:
“It is great to continue our long-standing, successful partnership with Extreme E. Both ITV and Extreme E share the same commitment to driving awareness of the effects of climate change and promoting positive action. We are also proud to be able to provide a platform for the world’s first gender-equal motorsport."
“This is a partnership that we have enjoyed since the series’ inception in 2021 and it has been great to work with Ali [Russell – Extreme E Managing Director] to ensure live coverage of this pioneering series remains on ITV."
“We look forward to working alongside Extreme E to showcase even more exciting racing to an ever-growing fanbase from Season 4 and beyond.”
The next event on the Extreme E calendar is the Copper X Prix, set to take place in Antofagasta, Chile, from 2nd to 3rd December. This race will determine the champion for the 2023 season. ITV and STV will be the official broadcasters for this thrilling event.
