BATHURST 1000 TV GUIDE: WHAT’S ON WHEN AND WHERE

THE 2020 Bathurst 1000 is likely to have one of the biggest television audiences of any ‘Great Race’ in history courtesy of the crowd restrictions in place for this year’s running.

UPDATE: FOX SPORTS’ Sunday broadcast has been brought forward to 7:45am AEDT in response to the updated start time for the race. The revised list is below.

COVID-19 measures will restrict the crowd at Mount Panorama to just 4,000 people each day, while border closures and mandatory quarantine periods that vary from state to state also mean that many people who’d traditionally watch the race trackside – the V8 Sleuth team included! – will be doing so from the couch this year.

Channel 10 and regional affiliate the WIN Network will show the Bathurst 1000 live for the final time for the immediate future this weekend with a new TV deal for 2021 seeing the free-to-air TV rights shifting to another network.
