Formula 1 on Channel Four in 2020

In 2019, Sky Sports will have exclusive live rights for F1 in the UK, (ore information on Formula 1 exclusively on Sky Sports here ). Under this deal, Channel Four will show highlights of all Qualifying and Races but will show the British Grand Prix weekend live.

For 2020, Skys exclusive deal remains, and a 2019, Channel Four will show highlights of all Qualifying and Races but will show the British Grand Prix weekend live.

However, Channel 4s deal has been improved for 2020.

The 2019 highlights deal allowed Channel 4 to cover 50 percent of the race during their edit. For the 2020 season, Channel 4 will now see 70 percent of the racing action, increasing the race edit from 45 minutes to around 60 minutes (depending on race).

In addition, both qualifying and the race day show can now begin two and a half hours after the chequered flag has fallen instead of three hours. Highlights for most European races will therefore air from 18:30 to 21:00, instead of 19:00 to 21:00 as they did last year.
