ESPN International will have worldwide television rights to the IndyCar and Firestone Indy Lights series through the 2010 season under a two-year contract extension with the Indy Racing League.
The agreement announced Wednesday does not include coverage in the United States, where races are carried by ABC and VERSUS, or Brazil, where BAND TV has broadcast rights. The IRL and ESPN International will each have an option to extend the agreement another two years after 2010.
ESPN International owns more than 45 television networks outside the United States and is available in 201 countries and territories.
ESPN and ABC are owned by The Walt Disney Co.
