W Series will broadcast on free-to-air TV in the UK and Ireland, as Channel 4 has acquired the rights to show it.
The all-female racing championship will kick off in the first weekend in May at the Hockenheim Circuit, supporting the opening round of the DTM series.
The coverage will include the full race, as well as build-up and behind-the-scenes insights from each circuit, and the preceding qualifying session.
"This is a historic moment for us," said W Series CEO Catherine Bond Muir. "The UK, with its incredible love of motorsport, is a cornerstone market for W Series, and what better way to engage and entertain than with live coverage of our all-female single-seater racing?
"Channel 4 is the ideal broadcast partner and we’re delighted to be working with them as we introduce the world to this exciting new concept."
Channel 4 broadcasted roughly half of the Formula 1 races from 2016 to 2018, and is continuing to show highlight packages of each race this season. It will also show the British Grand Prix.
"I’ve had the privilege of working with Channel 4 as a Formula 1 commentator for many years and I’m thrilled that their appetite for live motorsport has grown to cover W Series too," said W Series Advisory Board Chairman David Coulthard
"Channel 4’s experience with Formula 1 will prove invaluable as we work together to produce a compelling show for viewers, fans, partners and sponsors alike."
