TNT Sports will air live Formula E coverage in the UK and Ireland, beginning with the opening race of season 10 in Mexico City on 13 January.
Exclusive television coverage of all 17 races of the all-electric motorsport will be presented on TNT Sports, with uninterrupted coverage of every race streamed live for viewers in the UK on discovery+ alongside “extensive” editorial coverage on TNTSports.co.uk.
TNT Sports’ football pundit and broadcaster Jermaine Jenas (pictured above, front and centre) will host Formula E coverage as lead presenter alongside Nicki Shields (pictured front, left) and a host of experts who will bring Formula E’s unique racing to life for fans.
Formula E said that more viewers than ever tuned into live Formula E race coverage last season, which in the UK aired on Channel 4.
Formula E chief executive Jeff Dodds said: “This is incredible news for sports fans in the UK who already watch premium live sports on TNT Sports.
“From next month they will get to enjoy the new thrill of Formula E racing, the most competitive motorsport on TV. For existing Formula E fans, we are excited to present TNT Sports as the new home of Formula E in the UK. With experienced professional sportsperson and broadcaster Jermaine Jenas leading our stellar line-up of expert presenters to provide his original perspective for viewers, we cannot wait to get to work in Mexico City.”
Trojan Paillot, SVP sports rights acquisitions and syndication, Warner Bros. Discovery Europe, added: “We are pleased to agree a new supercharged partnership with Formula E that will deliver sports fans in the UK and Ireland with exclusive live coverage of every race throughout the season.
“Not only does this further expand our motorsport portfolio but integrates Formula E as part of the most varied premium sports offer in the UK alongside football, rugby, cricket, boxing and much more to further elevate the profile of the series and to help it to reach an even wider audience.”
