F1 TV

With four race weekends left on the 2025 calendar, searches for “F1TV / F1 TV,” “F1 schedule,” and “where to watch F1” are spiking again. Here’s a clean rundown of how F1’s official streaming works, what’s left on the slate, and the viewing options—without the guesswork.

F1 TV vs. F1 TV Pro: what you actually get

F1 TV Pro (live)

Live coverage of every session in eligible countries (Practice, Qualifying, Sprint where applicable, and the Grand Prix).
Onboard cameras for all drivers, pit lane channel, live timing and telemetry.
Full-race replays and extended highlights on demand.
Works on web, iOS, Android, Apple TV and other supported platforms; multi-view and certain features vary by device.

F1 TV (Access / non-live)

No live races; on-demand replays after the session ends, along with archives, documentaries and technical features.
Same app ecosystem, but without the live session streams.

Availability & blackout basics

Rights are territory-specific. In some countries, live races are exclusive to local broadcasters, so F1 TV Pro may be unavailable or restricted.
Traveling? Your access follows your current location, not your billing address. If you’re in a territory without Pro, the app downgrades accordingly.
Prices vary by country and may show monthly and annual options inside the app.

Where to watch F1 without F1 TV Pro

If Pro isn’t offered where you are, you’ll watch through your country’s rights-holding TV network or streaming partner. Many regions also carry race-weekend simulcasts on live-TV streaming bundles. In several markets, a free-to-air channel provides delayed highlights or a limited number of live events. Check your local listings the week of each race for exact windows and language feeds.

The F1 schedule: what’s left in 2025

After a packed October run, the championship closes with four race weekends. Mark the dates; session times update by region the week of each event.

Brazilian Grand Prix (São Paulo): Nov 7–9
Las Vegas Grand Prix (Saturday night local): Nov 20–22
Qatar Grand Prix (Sprint weekend): Nov 28–30
Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (season finale): Dec 5–7

Tip: because these rounds span multiple time zones, set alerts in the F1 TV app or your local broadcaster’s app so you don’t miss overnight Practice or an early-afternoon lights-out.

How to set up F1 TV the right way (2-minute checklist)

Confirm eligibility: Open the F1 TV app/site in the country where you’ll watch to see whether Pro (live) or Access (non-live) is offered.
Pick your plan: Annual plans are usually the best value if you’ll watch replays and archives year-round; monthly is flexible if you only need the final four weekends.
Test your devices: Install on phone/tablet and one big-screen option (Apple TV, smart TV app, or casting). Sign in and play an on-demand video to confirm audio/subtitles.
Customize the feed: In a live session, try driver onboards, pit lane channel, multi-view (where supported) and live timing; save favorites for one-tap switching.
Download for travel: Preload the app and your credentials before flying; hotel Wi-Fi firewalls occasionally require using mobile data.

Power user tips for race day

Multi-view for strategy nerds: Put the main world feed on screen 1, your favorite driver’s onboard on screen 2, pit lane channel on screen 3, and live timing on screen 4 (device-dependent).
Replays with context: If you miss lights-out, start with the 10–15 minute extended highlights, then jump into the full replay at Lap 1 to catch the opening chaos.
Audio track choice: Toggle between the main commentary and ambient track to study tire life and lift-and-coast moments during stints.
Data overlays: Enable sector times, tire compounds and stint lengths to understand undercuts/overcuts without waiting for the broadcast to explain them.

If you only need a quick “where to watch” answer

Have F1 TV Pro in your country? Use the F1 TV app for all live sessions plus onboards and replays.
No F1 TV Pro where you are? Use your country’s primary sports network or its streaming app for live coverage; look for highlights on a local free-to-air channel if available.
Traveling between races? Your access changes with your location; confirm availability the day you arrive.

F1 TV Pro is the most complete way to watch if it’s available in your country—live sessions, onboards, data and instant replays. If it isn’t, your local broadcaster’s live feed remains the path of least resistance, with F1 TV’s non-live tier filling in replays and the archive. With Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi still to run, now’s the time to lock in your setup so you can glide from Practice 1 to the final podium without missing a lap.
