The F1 2023 is about to properly begin, with the Bahrain Grand Prix taking place on March 5, and it’s the first proper race of the season.

We did see Formula 1 pre-season testing the week prior, and on the same Bahrain International Circuit course, but March 5 brings the first true race of the season and it’s a prime time for F1 fans to work out how to stream all the cups this year.

The 2023 F1 season is expected to be the league’s largest yet, with 24 races taking place between March and late November. That’s the busiest season of Formula 1 yet, and you can find out everything about the year’s season below.

In the 2022 F1 season, Max Verstappen won the World Drivers’ Championship and the team he drives for, Red Bull Racing, won the World Constructors’ Championship. These reigning champions are both competing in 2023, but so are many other top racers and teams.

For motorsport fans, you might want to also check out F1: Drive to Survive season 5 which just released on Netflix, as it explores the 2022 season (and a season 6, looking at the 2023 one, has already been confirmed). We’ve also run a guide on how to watch Formula E if that’s more your speed.

So read on to find out how to stream F1 from where you are.

Watch F1 in the US

If you want to watch F1 in the US, you’ll need to have access to either ESPN or ESPN 2, as these are the two channels that have broadcast rights to Formula 1 in the US.

There’s a good chance that your cable package has ESPN’s two primary channels already, but if not, you can use live TV streaming services to get access. Your options are Sling TV (on its $40-per-month Orange plan), FuboTV ($74.99 per month) Hulu with Live TV ($74.99 per month) or YouTube TV ($64.99 per month).

While these options will get you both ESPN channels and more, that ‘more’ might be a problem for some; if you just want to watch F1, and don’t want a whole cord-cutter package, live TV streaming services might be too much. Thankfully, you have other options.

F1 has its own subscription service called F1 TV, and the top-tier version of this lets you watch live races too. You can even switch from the main live feed and any of the cars’ onboard cameras. F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month, or $80 per year, and you can find more information about F1 TV here (opens in new tab).

Watch F1 in the UK

In the UK, your best bet for watching F1 is through the Sky Sports F1 channel — Sky has exclusive broadcasting rights to Formula 1 until 2029.

For this channel, you’ll need a Sky TV subscription as well as the Sky Sports add-on, which in total costs £44 per month for an 18-month contract.

If you don’t want that commitment, you can buy a Now Sports Pass, which grants you temporary access to the Sky Sports channels; a monthly pass will set you back £33.99, whilst a 24-hour day pass costs £11.98. This might be suitable if you just want to stream one or two races instead of the whole season.

And if you want to watch F1 in the UK for free, highlights from each race are available after the race has taken place on free-to-air broadcaster Channel 4 and its streaming service, All4.

Watch F1 in Australia

If you live in Australia, you can use Fox Sports or Foxtel to watch the F1 races, with Kayo Sports also offering live streaming.

Ten Play will be showing race highlights for each of the Grand Prix races, and you won’t need to pay for this privilege either.

Watch F1 everywhere else

If you’re keen to watch each F1 2023 Grand Prix but you’re somewhere the broadcasts aren’t easily available, a potential solution to this issue is with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).

A VPN lets you change your IP address, enabling you to watch shows or sporting events like Formula 1 and all the other shows and events that matter to you from other locations. Our favorite is ExpressVPN (opens in new tab), which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
