Next Sunday, for example. Viewers of the channel can then watch the Japanese Grand Prix. Although not live at 7 o’clock in the morning, but at 1 o’clock in the afternoon. Qualifying for the race will also be broadcast in the afternoon on the Talpa channel, renamed Viaplay TV.
All races this season
A summary of the race will be shown in the evening. This agreement applies to all races this season, a Talpa spokesperson said. The company would not say what Viaplay will be paid for the deal.
In addition, SBS9 will broadcast a selection of matches from Viaplay’s portfolio. In addition to Formula 1, the streaming service also has broadcasting rights for darts and football matches from the German and English competitions. The two parties hope in the near future to broadcast even more sports matches.
Rights Formula 1
The question is whether Formula 1 will also be shown via SBS9 next season. Viaplay only has the rights for this season and is still negotiating with the owner of Formula 1 about an extension. And there are several companies that are interested in these rights.
