Breaking: F1 Academy’s season finale race to be broadcast live in over 100 international territories

F1 Academy has announced today that their final race of the season in Texas will be broadcast live for the first time in over 100 territories worldwide.

After six races in 2023, F1 Academy’s inaugural season will crown its first ever world champion at the Circuit of The Americas between October 20-22.

However, the season finale has just got even bigger, with the announcement that the seventh and final round of the campaign will be shown live in over 100 countries with 18 international broadcasters providing coverage for the event.

Fans will be able to watch the whole race weekend on Formula 1’s YouTube, X and Facebook channels, with F1 in Austin for the 2023 LENOVO United States Grand Prix at the same time.

This news mark another big milestone for F1 Academy after it was announced back in July that all the teams and drivers are to run F1 liveries in 2024.
