BT Sport loses IndyCar rights

BT Sport will not broadcast coverage of the IndyCar Series this season after losing the rights to the championship.

BT Sport have covered Indycar since 2013.

BT Sport Indycar commentator Tom Gaynor said “Unfortunately it looks like IndyCar will not be on BT Sport this year, no more information at the moment! I know a lot of you have been asking, so if it changes I’ll let you know I’m as disappointed as you are”.

No news on which UK broadcaster will show Indycar, however, one possibility is that IndyCar finds itself on Sky Sports. Sky owners Comcast
also own NBC in the US, where Indycar is airing on NBC in a new deal starting this season.
