The BBC has secured a three-year agreement to broadcast the FIA World Rally Championship in the UK from 2027 to 2029. The deal includes live coverage of every round on BBC iPlayer and digital platforms, marking the return of a UK WRC round with the debut of Rally Scotland.
Securing these rights allows the BBC to anchor its sports portfolio with high-octane global content while leveraging its iPlayer infrastructure for live streaming. For the WRC Promoter, moving to a major free-to-air broadcaster provides a critical platform to rebuild the championship's UK visibility after a multi-year absence of a domestic round. This shift reflects a broader trend where niche sports seek the reach of national public broadcasters to cultivate new demographics beyond dedicated pay-TV audiences. Watch for the FIA to confirm the 2027 calendar dates to see how the BBC integrates Rally Scotland into its multi-platform scheduling.
