- Multi-year deal means that from Season 7 (2020/21) all #formulae races will be live across the USA on CBS platforms. 

- CBS partnership signifies essential audience growth in key market for ABB FIA #formulae World Championship. 

- New American media partnership important for Formula E’s #automotive partners launching electric road cars in years to come.

London, England (November 18, 2020) - #formulae and leading US broadcaster CBS today announced a new multi-year partnership to air the all-electric #racing series live across various platforms from Season Seven.
 

A multi-year deal will see #formulae air live across #cbssports platforms from the opening round of the 2020/21 ABB FIA #formulae World Championship in Santiago starting on January 16, 2021. The partnership brings over 60 hours of live race coverage to various #cbssports platforms. For #formulae, the relationship signifies an important opportunity to grow the sport’s audience and brand in a key strategic market. 

All of the 14 #formulae races scheduled on the Season Seven calendar will air live on #cbssports platforms, each in a 90-minute programme. A minimum of two races, including the New York City E-Prix, will be broadcast on CBS Television Network. At least six more will be shown live on #cbssports Network, as will a bespoke 1-hour preview show per race week. The remaining races, as well as all qualifying sessions, will be streamed on #cbssports Digital platforms. 

The USA is a priority market for #formulae and its ecosystem. Having raced in the United States every year since its inception, the ABB FIA #formulae Championship made history in 2017, when it introduced #racing to the five boroughs of New York City. #formulae is also proud to have American #racing teams BMW i Andretti Motorsport and DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT competing for the world title. 

Formula E has more manufacturers on its grid than any other world class #racing series and the USA is a critical market for many of those carmakers. The exposure that a media partnership with CBS provides will be vital for Formula E’s #automotive partners launching electric road cars in years to come.
