How to Watch F1 in 2026
Formula 1 has gone streaming-first — and 2026 brings big broadcaster changes. Here is where to watch every Grand Prix, practice, qualifying and sprint, wherever you are.
The Global Option
F1's own service is the closest thing to a worldwide option — though availability depends on local deals.
F1 TV Pro
Every session live, with all 20 driver onboard cameras, live timing and the full race archive.
F1 TV Premium
Everything in Pro, plus 4K Ultra HD/HDR, a personalised Multiview with up to 26 feeds and multi-device streaming.
*Availability varies by country. F1 TV Pro is not available in the UK (Sky exclusivity), and in the US it is bundled with Apple TV. Check f1tv.formula1.com for your region.
Where to Watch by Country
United Kingdom
Sky Sports F1 carries all 24 rounds live — every session — on Sky or contract-free via NOW. Channel 4 shows free highlights of every race plus the British GP live.
United States
F1 has moved from ESPN to an exclusive Apple TV deal through 2032. It covers every session and includes F1 TV Premium free when you link accounts — and works on almost any device, not just Apple.
India
FanCode is the exclusive streaming home of F1 through at least 2028 — every session, with English, Hindi and Tamil commentary.
Watching for Free
Fully free live coverage is rare. The best options are the UK's Channel 4 (highlights of every round, plus the British GP live) and whatever select free races Apple TV opens up in the US. Everywhere else, a paid subscription is generally needed for live sessions.
Broadcast rights and pricing change between seasons and sometimes mid-year. Always confirm the latest details with the official broadcaster before a race weekend. This guide is informational and not affiliated with any broadcaster.
