The BBC has announced a significant broadcasting deal to air the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC) across the UK from 2027 to 2029. This new agreement ensures that fans will enjoy comprehensive coverage of all 14 WRC rounds each season, featuring:

• Five live stages plus the power stage from each rally
• 14 one-hour highlights programs
• Digital clips and additional content available across various BBC platforms

Notably, Rally Scotland will receive extensive live coverage over all four days of competition, marking a return for the WRC to Scotland since 2019. This initiative aims to provide UK audiences with live, free-to-air access to the rally event.

Hugh Chambers, the CEO of Motorsport UK, expressed enthusiasm about the deal, stating:

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.

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