WHERE CAN I WATCH IT?

Practice sessions

If you’re keen enough to want to watch all the practice sessions, then you’re in luck! Every session will be broadcast live on YouTube and Facebook, as well as the official Formula E website and app.

Qualifying

Crunch time! You’ll not want to miss any of these. With qualifying having such a crucial impact in Formula E, the drivers who make it through to superpole are usually the ones likely to be competing for the race win later in the day.

As well as all the places you’ll find practice shown, qualifying will be live on the BBC website, BBC iPlayer, the BBC Red Button service, and on Eurosport Player.

The Races

This is it, this is where all the blood sweat and tears make the difference. With six races in nine days, the drivers will be going flat out for glory and with no driver mathematically out of contention, there’s everything to race for!

Fans can catch live coverage of each race in Berlin live on the BBC website, BBC iPlayer, the BBC Red Button service, as well as Eurosport Player and Eurosport 2.

If you miss the race for any reason, you can catch up later on BBC iPlayer or YouTube, and highlights will be shown the next morning on QUEST or Eurosport 1
