BBC to broadcast World Rally Championship from 2027

The BBC will broadcast the FIA World Rally Championship across the UK from 2027-29.

The new deal includes coverage of all 14 WRC rounds each season, with five live stages plus the power stage from each rally, 14 one-hour highlights programmes, digital clips and additional content across BBC platforms.

Rally Scotland will receive extensive live coverage across all four days of competition, giving audiences in the UK live, free-to-air access to the country's first WRC round since 2019.

Hugh Chambers, CEO of Motorsport UK, the organisation behind Rally Scotland, said: "The BBC agreement gives Rally Scotland and the wider WRC a national platform from 2027, helping us reach long-standing fans and bring new audiences into the sport."

Welshman Elfyn Evans leads the 2026 championship with one round of the season remaining, the Rally Italia Sardegna from 1 October to 4 October.
