BBC to broadcast W Series Esports League

W Series, an all-female motorsport championship, has entered a broadcast deal with the BBC for its W Series Esports League.

The BBC will broadcast all 10 races in the W Series Esports League across BBC iPlayer, BBC Red Button, and the BBC Sport website. The championship begins on June 11th and is set to conclude on August 13th.

Unlike other simulation racing initiatives that have recently exploded in popularity, the W Series Esports League is only for women racers, with all 18 real-world W Series drivers expected to take part. This new competition comes as W Series called off its 2020 season due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
