Under the new arrangement, at least half of the season will be broadcast LIVE and EXCLUSIVE on Fox Sports.
Marquee Supercar events including Bathurst, Adelaide, Townsville and the Gold Coast will have dedicated wall-to-wall coverage of every session LIVE on Fox Sports.
Additional free-to-air coverage details will be confirmed later this morning.
Adding to the new deal will be a special Supercar launch event which will be exclusive to the Foxtel Group.
The new deal caps of a very busy year for Foxtel which has seen the business renew and extend its agreements with HBO and the NRL. Foxtel has also renegotiated its deals with the AFL and A-League, while talks are continuing with Cricket Australia and Rugby Australia.
Confirming the Supercars extension, Foxtel Group Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Delany, said:

“I’m pleased to have a new five-year agreement in place for the Supercars Championship, putting our subscribers in the driver’s seat for all the excitement and action of every race.
“Our relationship with Supercars dates back to 2015, and along with Formula One and MotoGP, has established Foxtel as the home of Australia’s premium motorsport experience while Kayo has opened up motorsport to a new audience of streaming viewers.
“Motorsport has never been more popular in Australia. Overall our motorsport audiences are up by 35% this year compared to 2019, with streaming growth for the category on Foxtel Now, Foxtel GO and Kayo is up 82%.
“Supercars are quintessentially Australian, and the Championship is a core part of our motorsport offering attracting huge audiences in its own right. The iconic Bathurst 1000 recorded the highest rating day in subscription television history in 2019.
“While the 2020 season has faced disruptions from COVID-19, the team at Supercars have done an outstanding job of keeping their loyal and passionate fan base entertained and most of all producing world-class competition.
“We are looking forward to bringing Supercars to our growing legion of motorsport fans like no one else can over the next five years.”
