Extreme H has signed a three-year broadcast deal with FOX Sports ahead of its debut next year.
The championship – formerly known as Extreme E – will transition to become the world’s first motorsport series exclusively featuring hydrogen fuel cell vehicles in 2025. Extreme E had previously been shown on FS1 and FS2, and the new deal is the continuation of that partnership.
“At FOX, we are committed to delivering innovative, groundbreaking sports content to our viewers, and Extreme E has been a phenomenal example of this,” said Bill Wanger, FOX Sports EVP, head of programming and scheduling. “Extending our relationship into the Extreme H hydrogen series is an exciting step as it reflects the future of motorsport and the possibilities of clean energy. We look forward to continuing to share this innovative and purpose-driven sport with fans across the U.S.”

Extreme H is currently testing its new Pioneer 25 car – which entered production recently – ahead of its race debut next year. How the inaugural season of the hydrogen competition will look is being finalized, with announcements regarding race locations expected early in the new year.
“We’re delighted to continue our incredible collaboration with FOX Sports and expand our relationship to include Extreme H,” said Extreme H managing director Ali Russell. “Hydrogen is the future of clean mobility, and FS1/FS2 will play a vital role in bringing this next-generation motorsport to American fans.
“A special thanks to (FOX Sports president and CEO) Eric Shanks and his continued support of sporting innovation. Together, we will showcase the excitement of hydrogen racing while inspiring action around sustainability and the future of our planet.”
