All races this season
A summary of the race will be shown in the evening. This agreement applies to all races this season, a Talpa spokesperson said. The company would not say what Viaplay will be paid for the deal.
In addition, SBS9 will broadcast a selection of matches from Viaplay’s portfolio. In addition to Formula 1, the streaming service also has broadcasting rights for darts and football matches from the German and English competitions. The two parties hope to be able to broadcast more sports matches in the near future.
