BTCC on TV
The Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship enjoys unrivalled and unprecedented television coverage in the UK thanks to its long-standing partnership with the ITV television network.
ITV will continue to screen the BTCC live and free-to-air until at least 2026 after the latest contract was signed between Britain’s biggest motorsport series and the UK broadcasting giant – making it the largest TV contract in the BTCC’s history and also the longest sports broadcasting contract into which ITV4 has ever entered.
In a television broadcast arrangement – the breadth of which has never been seen in UK motorsport – the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship will enjoy live free-to-air coverage on both ITV and ITV4 during the 2022 season.
Whilst ITV4 continues as the ‘home’ of the BTCC with its excellent all-day-live and free-to-air coverage of the UK’s premier motorsport series, both the Brands Hatch Indy (15 May) and Oulton Park (12 June) events will also be broadcast live on ITV for three hours on each race day.
This, in addition to the ITV4 live coverage, transmissions will be streamed as-live via itv.com/btcc with highlights programmes available to watch via the ITV Hub, as well as the highlights programmes shown on both ITV and ITV4 in the days after each event, seeing the BTCC expand its already comprehensive coverage
Broadcast scheduling times for both ITV and ITV4 will be published on this page as they are made available.
The BTCC also enjoys extensive coverage overseas, including MotorTrend screening highlights in North America. A multitude of networks such as Speed, ESPN and FOX are among those that ensure that Britain’s biggest motor sport series is broadcast across six continents throughout each season. Viewers in these regions should check local listings for the latest broadcast dates and times.
Race weekend scheduling will be updated throughout the 2022 season:
