Formula 1 viewership on ESPN platforms reached nearly 30 million fans in 2024, maintaining strong growth in the U.S. market. The season matched 2023's average of 1.1 million viewers per race, securing its position as the second most-viewed season in U.S. television history.

Key viewership highlights from 2024:

• Total reach increased to 29.5 million viewers, up from 24 million in 2023
• Miami Grand Prix set an all-time U.S. television F1 record with 3.1 million average viewers

• Eleven races showed year-over-year gains compared to 2023
• Season finale in Abu Dhabi averaged 1 million viewers, peaking at 1.1 million

The growth trajectory since ESPN resumed F1 coverage in 2018 has been remarkable, with average viewership nearly doubling from 554,000 to 1.1 million viewers in 2024 - representing a 100% increase over six years.

The 2025 Formula 1 season will commence on March 16 in Australia.
