Mediaset Secures Free-to-Air Rights for F1 and MotoGP Races in Spain

Mediaset Spain has reached a strategic sublicensing agreement with DAZN and the MotoGP Sports Entertainment Group to broadcast select high-profile Formula 1 and MotoGP races on free-to-air television for the 2026 season.

This partnership expands Mediaset’s sports portfolio, ensuring that key national motorsport events remain accessible to a wide Spanish audience, despite DAZN holding the primary exclusive broadcast rights.
