London, England, (February 18, 2021) - #formulae and #supersport have today announced a new, multi-year #partnership to show the all-electric #racing series #live in more than 50 African territories.

Formula E will debut on SuperSport’s Motorsport Channel on February 26 & 27 as the #abbfiaformulaeworldchampionship lights up the streets of Diriyah with a double-header in the dark to kick off the season.

SuperSport will cover all of the races scheduled on the Season 7 calendar. Fans will be able to watch each race and qualifying session #live across SuperSport’s channels, app and website.

Each #formulae race broadcast by #supersport will also be available on demand through the app or website. SuperSport’s Blitz news channel will also offer season-long reporting and editorial content.

Growing Formula E’s fanbase in #africa remains important to the sport, building on the momentum of four consecutive races in Marrakesh since Season 3 (2016/17).
