The FIA's Formula E Championship has agreed a deal with Fox Sports that will ensure coverage in over 80 countries next year.

The new series for all-electric vehicles will be broadcast live exclusively on the network in the USA and across a series of exclusive and non-exclusive platforms in other regions.

Alejandro Agag, CEO of series promoter Formula E Holdings, said: "We are very proud to announce this major agreement between Fox and the FIA Formula E Championship and to be partnering a truly global organisation that fully believes in the future of racing."

"America is a key market for electric cars and to show our races live in the US will be central to promoting this type of mobility."

No announcement has been made on the broadcasting of the series in Britain.
