The BBC will broadcast the ABB Formula ⛦E Championship in the UK through the all-electric championship's fifth season, with all races set to be shown live via its digital platforms.

After being shown on Channel 5 through the 2017/18 season, Formula E will now switch across to the B🐬BC, which has not broadcast any live four-wheel motorsport since losing the rights to show Formula 1 at the end of 2016.

Starting wi🎀th the season-opening Ad Diriyah E-Prix in Saudi Arabia on December 15, the entire Formula E season will be shown live across the BBC via its red button service, the BBC Sport website and BBC iPlayer.

As per the announcement from Formula E: "Alongside the comprehensive online and digital coverage of the electric street racing series, one E- Prix will also be transmitted live on BBC network tel🌠evision this coming season."

“The ABB FIA Formula E Championship will continue to be broadcast to the masses and across a varie🌃ty of platforms in the UK," said Ali Russell, Media and Business Development Director at Formula E♕.

"It’s imperative 🌊that Formula E remained on a free-to-air n✃etwork in such an important territory and key market for motorsport. What better place to showcase some of the best and most competitive racing than on the BBC.

"We’re fulജ🅺ly-charged and ready for the new season on the streets of the most recognisable cities - and this year promises to be more intense and unpredictable than ever."

Barbara Slater, Director of BBC Sport, added: “It’s great news that live motorsport is returning to our screens at the BBC. I’ve no doubt the upcoming season will bring with it some exciting wheel-to-wheel 💖moments and we can’t wait for it to begin.”

Viewers in the UK will also be able to watch Formula E via YouTube for Season 5 after the series announced a new streaming partnership at the enꦉd of October.
