Extreme E signs a three-year broadcast agreement with FOX Sports

Extreme H has signed a three-year broadcast deal with FOX Sports ahead of its debut next year.

The championship – previously known as Extreme E – will become the world’s first motorsport series to feature exclusively hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 2025. Extreme E was previously seen on FS1 and FS2, and the new deal is the continuation of that partnership.

“At FOX, we strive to deliver innovative, groundbreaking sports content to our viewers, and Extreme E has been a phenomenal example of this,” said Bill Wanger, FOX Sports EVP, head of programming and planning. “Extending our relationship to the Extreme H hydrogen series is an exciting step as it reflects the future of motorsport and the possibilities of clean energy. We look forward to continuing to share this innovative and purposeful sport with fans across the US.”

Extreme H is currently testing its new Pioneer 25 car – which recently entered production – ahead of its racing debut next year. What the first season of hydrogen competition will look like is currently being finalized, with announcements on race locations expected early in the new year.

“We are excited to continue our incredible partnership with FOX Sports and expand our relationship with Extreme H,” said Extreme H President Ali Russell. “Hydrogen is the future of clean mobility, and FS1/FS2 will play a critical role in bringing this next generation of motorsports to American fans.

“A special thank you to (FOX Sports president and CEO) Eric Shanks and his continued support of sports innovation. Together we will showcase the excitement of hydrogen racing while inspiring action around sustainability and the future of our planet.”
