Calling it a “very important growth opportunity” and a “significant step forward in broadening the sport’s appeal,” Formula One has signed a multi-year linear and digital partnership with ESPN, beginning with the 2018 season. Formula One had aired exclusively in the U.S. on NBC Sports since 2013. Financial terms of the alliance were not shared. ESPN and ABC will televise all 21 races in the FIA Formula One World Championship.
