what channels is formula 1 on in 2018
List of Formula One broadcasters On 4 October 2017, ESPN announced that it had acquired rights to Formula One under a multi-year deal beginning in 2018. ESPN had previously broadcast Formula One from 1984 to 1997. The majority of coverage will be carried by ESPN2, but two races (Monaco, Britain) will be carried on the main ESPN channel, and four races (Canada, United States, Mexico, and Brazil), as well as an afternoon encore of the Monaco Grand Prix following its Indianapolis 500 telecast, will be broadcast free-to-air on ABC.[13] Unlike the previous contract with NBC Sports, Formula One will retain over-the-top rights, ESPN will reportedly not pay a traditional rights fee, and it was originally announced that the broadcasts would rely primarily on the world feed.[14][15] However, it was later announced that ESPN would utilize Sky Sports' coverage.[16]
