FIA WEC Launches New Streaming Service with Annual ‘365 Pass’ Option
February 20, 2026 – Fans of the FIA World Endurance Championship will have a new way to follow the action in 2026 with the launch of FIA WEC+, a new online streaming service. A key feature of the service will be the ‘365 Pass,’ an automatically renewing annual subscription priced at €49.99, replacing the previous season pass option offered through FIA WEC TV.
The ‘365 Pass’ will unlock exclusive original content, full archive access, and live coverage of all practice, qualifying, and race sessions – including the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. A new live timing page will also be included.
For those preferring a more flexible option, individual race passes will still be available, costing €9.99 for a standard FIA WEC event and €19.99 for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. These passes include live timing, session coverage, onboard cameras, and replays, but do not include access to the exclusive FIA WEC+ original content or the full archive. Further details regarding the launch timeline for FIA WEC+ are expected soon.
FIA WEC+ Unveils New Subscription Model, Expanding Access to Endurance Racing
Fans of the FIA World Endurance Championship are set to gain unprecedented access to the sport with the launch of FIA WEC+, the series’ new online streaming service. A key feature of this platform will be the introduction of a ‘365 Pass’, designed to provide year-round coverage and exclusive content.
A New Era of WEC Access
The ‘365 Pass’ will be available for an annual fee of €49.99 and operates on an automatically renewable subscription basis. This replaces the previous season pass option offered through FIA WEC TV, signaling a shift towards a more comprehensive and accessible viewing experience.
What Does the 365 Pass Offer?
Subscribers to the ‘365 Pass’ will unlock a wealth of content, including exclusive FIA WEC+ original programming and complete access to the series’ extensive archive. The pass guarantees live coverage of all crucial track sessions – Free Practice 3, Qualifying, and the race itself – for every FIA WEC event. Notably, this includes full live coverage of every session during the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. A new live timing page will also be integrated into the service, providing real-time data for dedicated fans.
Pro Tip: For fans who only follow specific races, individual race passes will remain available. Standard FIA WEC events will cost €9.99, even as the 24 Hours of Le Mans will be priced at €19.99.
Race Passes: A Focused Viewing Option
Individual race passes will continue to be offered, providing a flexible option for those who prefer to purchase access on a per-event basis. These passes include live timing, live session coverage, and access to onboard cameras and replays of the purchased event. Though, they will not include access to the exclusive FIA WEC+ original content or the full archive available with the ‘365 Pass’.
The Growing Trend of Direct-to-Fan Streaming in Motorsports
This move by the FIA WEC aligns with a broader trend in motorsports towards direct-to-fan streaming services. Formula 1’s F1 TV, for example, has demonstrated the potential for increased engagement and revenue through dedicated platforms offering exclusive content and live race coverage. The success of these services hinges on providing a compelling value proposition that goes beyond simply replicating traditional broadcast offerings.
The introduction of the ‘365 Pass’ suggests the FIA WEC is aiming to cultivate a loyal fan base by offering a continuous stream of content, fostering a deeper connection with the sport. This strategy mirrors the approach taken by other sports leagues, such as the NFL with NFL+, which provides subscribers with access to live local and primetime games on mobile devices, as well as on-demand content.
Future Developments and Launch Timeline
Further details regarding the launch timeline and specific features of FIA WEC+ are expected to be announced shortly. The series is clearly focused on enhancing the fan experience and expanding its reach in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
