The FIA World Endurance Championship has inked a deal with Max, which will stream all races live and on-demand, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, to U.S. subscribers for the upcoming season.

It comes in addition to the series’ existing deal with MotorTrend TV and via the MotorTrend app, which will continue for 2024.

All three services are owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.

WEC content will be available through Max’s B/R Sports Add-On, which costs $9.99 USD/month in addition to the standard streaming service.

It will feature live and on-demand coverage of the world championship, including an extensive pre-and post-race production including a dedicated pit reporter.

“The USA is a huge market for the WEC and it is always an aim to make our sport as widely accessible as possible,” said WEC CEO Frederic Lequien.

“Max, alongside our existing deal with MotorTrend, will help achieve this goal and hopefully we can attract fans to attend our race at COTA later this season to watch the action in person.

“With Corvette, Cadillac and a number of American drivers on our grid this year, plus our strong ties with IMSA, we are delighted that we could sign another solid broadcast deal in this region.”

The WEC season kicks off with the Qatar 1812km on March 2.
