How to watch Dakar Rally 2025
Extended highlights of the most recent stage will be broadcast every evening on SBS, with SBS On Demand viewers able to catch up on all the action earlier in the morning.

What is the Dakar Rally?
The Dakar Rally is an annual rally raid organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation and is famous for its tough terrain and off-road endurance, where an expansive field must traverse sand, rocks, gravel, and tarmac as quick as possible.
The 2025 route will not be for the faint of heart and will feature the return of the 48-hour chrono, a traditional marathon stage, and a three-day adventure in the Empty Quarter.
The Empty Quarter will see the Dakar come to a close in Shubaytah, where over 750 drivers will hope to cross the line with the quickest accumulated time over 12 stages and 14 days of racing.
SBS viewers will witness motorcycles, cars, quads, and trucks take on the difficult conditions, where the battle between each discipline’s heavyweights will be all the more crucial given the race kicks off the first round of the 2025 FIA-FIM World Rally-Raid Championship.
Australian Toby Price will attempt to win his third Dakar Rally when he competes in 2025 - this time on four wheels. The 37-year-old will be riding in a Toyota Hilux with fellow Dakar winner Sam Sunderland as his navigator.
“I am super excited to announce that we’ll be on the start line for the 2025 Dakar Rally,” Price said in an Instagram post.
“Teaming up with Overdrive Racing in a T1+ car is a dream come true, and an opportunity that I am really grateful for and looking to make the most of”.
