Formula E has agreed a multi-year broadcasting deal with Disney+ and ESPN+ covering 144 countries from its 12th season, which begins in December. The platforms will show full live coverage of each ePrix, including practice and qualifying, potentially expanding the championship’s international profile as it enters a new technical era.

In the United States, coverage will move from Roku, which has carried Formula E live since 2023, to ESPN+. The article notes that this may reduce domestic reach: Roku reported more than 100 million US households, while ESPN+ has roughly 24 million subscribers after declining from its 2023 peak. Season 12 will also introduce the 603hp GEN4 car, rising to 804hp in Attack Mode, and add circuits including Brands Hatch and Circuit of the Americas.
