New Zealand’s Supercars fans can gear up for four more years of high-octane action, with Sky securing the rights to broadcast and stream the Supercars Championship from the start of 2026 through to the end of the 2029 season.
The four-year deal extends Sky’s longstanding partnership with Supercars, ensuring Kiwi fans can continue to follow their favourite drivers across the championship.
Sky’s Head of Content Partnerships, Adam Crothers, says: “Supercars is a fan favourite, delivering edge-of-your-seat entertainment, fierce competition, and some of the best drivers in the sport.
“We’ve been proud to bring the championship to Kiwi audiences for over a decade, and this new deal locks in Supercars as a key part of our motorsport offering for years to come.”
“With the addition of a second New Zealand race from 2026 – a new Christchurch round will join the existing Taupō round – we’re thrilled to see the local connection to the championship grow even stronger. Two home races for Kiwi fans is a game-changer.
“With five Kiwi drivers currently competing and a proud history of New Zealand champions – including Shane van Gisbergen, Scott McLaughlin, Jim Richards, and Robbie Francevic – the Supercars Championship continues to be a major drawcard for local motorsport fans.
Plus, the new three-tiered Supercars format launched this year has been bringing even more excitement to the competition, which should bring even more drama and intensity to the competition.”
Supercars CEO James Warburton said: “We’re absolutely thrilled to extend our partnership with Sky, which has been a fantastic broadcast partner for over a decade.
“This new deal guarantees Kiwi fans can continue to watch every moment of Supercars action, wherever they are.
“With two events in New Zealand locked in until at least the end of 2028 and 20 per cent of our global fan base residing in New Zealand, this partnership is critically important to us.
“New Zealand has an incredibly passionate motorsport audience, a rich history of Supercars success, and a new generation of local stars making their mark. We’re proud to deepen our commitment to New Zealand fans and continue to grow our footprint in this key market.”
Sky’s motorsport coverage spans everything from Formula 1 and IndyCar to World Superbike, with Supercars remaining a core part of the line-up.
The 2025 Supercars Championship is currently underway, with the Ipswich Super 440 approaching this weekend (8-10 August). S
Sky customers can enjoy all the action live on Sky Sport and Sky Sport Now and select coverage free-to-air on Sky Open.
