Formula E has announced a partnership agreement with TNT Sports, which thus becomes the Official Broadcast Partner of Formula E in the UK and Ireland, with former English professional footballer Jermaine Jenas serving as the TV host for the competition.
The tenth Formula E season, set to kick off from January 13, 2024, is set to be the biggest season in Formula E history yet with a total of 17 races scheduled across the world, with races set to be held in Tokyo, Shanghai and Misano for the first time.
Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E, commented:
“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.“
Jermaine Jenas, Formula E Television Presenter, said:
“Since retiring from football I never thought I would find a sport that I loved as much but Formula E is a sport like nothing else. I couldn’t be more excited to take on this incredible presenting role and travel the world with such amazing teams. To get in front of the camera and share that energy and action with viewers is a whole new challenge and adrenaline rush for me and I’m really looking forward to it.“
