ESPN has shown Extreme E action live to a Latin American audience since the series first launched in 2021 (and indeed, also covered the series in sub-Saharan Africa in that first year).

The renewal comes after two Extreme E events were staged in Latin America in 2023, in Chile and Uruguay.

“It was fitting that our dramatic season three finale took place in South America – a continent which has a huge passion for motorsport, and particularly our championship having raced there for the past two seasons.”

In mid-September, UK commercial broadcaster ITV extended its coverage deal with Extreme E for the 2024 campaign, for which the calendar has not yet been unveiled.

In the US, meanwhile, coverage last season was provided by a combination of Fox and Warner Bros. Discovery.

The final race of the 2023 Extreme E campaign took place on December 2 and 3 with the Copper X Prix in Antofagasta, Chile.

In terms of other motor racing rights across Latin America, meanwhile, ESPN also covers the top-tier Formula 1 series in the region, in a deal running through 2025.
