From 2024, Formula 1 coverage will move from AMC channels to Nova Sport channels.
The Nova Group has acquired the exclusive broadcasting rights to Formula 1. From 2024, Nova Sport will broadcast the world motorsport series on its pay channels. Nova plans to announce details on the form of broadcasting during the winter.
"The acquisition of the Formula 1 rights underlines our commitment to bringing the best sporting experiences and exclusive content of the highest quality to our viewers. In addition to the UEFA Champions League, Bundesliga, LaLiga and NHL, we are adding another major global sports brand that has been growing in popularity in recent years," said TV Nova's head of sport, Dušan Mendel.
Formula 1 races are still broadcast on Sport 1 and Sport 2 (AMC Networks International group).
AMC Networks International's stations have not been offered for a long time by the operator O2 Czech Republic, which, like Nova, belongs to the PPF Group's portfolio. O2 TV's customers lost them in July 2021 and so far the two parties have not agreed on the renewal of the distribution contract. Given Nova's acquisition of the broadcasting rights for Formula 1, a deal between AMC and O2 does not seem very realistic at the moment.
