A total of 23 broadcasters will air the second season of F1 ACADEMY following its inaugural broadcast at the 2023 season finale at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin. This year will see a significant expansion in coverage, with a live International Feed and highlights programme for all seven events on the F1 ACADEMY calendar.

Fans across all regions will also be able to stream qualifying and the races from all seven rounds of the 2024 season live on F1 ACADEMY’s YouTube and X channels and via F1 TV, bringing the series and its mission to fans globally.

F1 ACADEMY will welcome a new team to the commentary box for its second season, with renowned sports broadcaster Nicki Shields taking the helm as lead commentator. Shields will be joined throughout the season by former F1 test driver Jordan King, and European Sportscar Champion, Alex Brundle, who will share co-commentator duties.

The announcement comes on the eve of the highly anticipated second season for F1 ACADEMY, which gets underway this weekend at the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and will see drivers nominated by all ten F1 teams line up on the grid alongside drivers supported by F1 ACADEMY’s Official Partners, Tommy Hilfiger, Charlotte Tilbury, and PUMA.

Susie Wolff, MBE, Managing Director of F1 ACADEMY said: “Our mission at F1 ACADEMY is to get more women participating in motorsport, both on and off the track. To do that we need to reach new audiences and prove to young girls there is a place for them in our sport.

“I want to extend a thank you to our broadcast partners for believing in our mission and for joining us on this journey to inspire a new generation of fans. You have to see it to believe it, now you can’t miss us.”
