WRC secures major three-year broadcast deal with BBC

The World Rally Championship will be broadcast live on the BBC as part of a new three-year UK broadcast rights deal, beginning from 2027.

It will see the BBC broadcast select live stages, including the Power Stage from all WRC rounds alongside 60-minute highlight programmes from each rally.

The agreement from 2027-29 will also include extensive live coverage from Rally Scotland, which is set to bring rallying’s top tier back to Britain for the first time since 2019 next year.

It marks a long awaited return for the WRC on the BBC since Rally GB 2001, before the broadcaster lost the rights to Channel 4 in 2002.
