The U.S. media rights for Formula One is up after this year. The races have been airing on ESPN since 2018. F1 is seeking between $150 million to $180 million a year.
Formula One racing is currently negotiating a new media rights deal for the 2026 season and beyond, as its existing contract with ESPN, valued at around $75-90 million annually, is set to expire at the end of 2025.
