How to watch F1 online: stream every Formula 1 2023 race live from around the world

The next race in the Formula 1 calendar takes the racing action to England, with the British Grand Prix which takes place at the Silverstone Circuit on Sunday, July 9. This is the tenth race of the season, though it was meant to be 11th until a cancelation in Italy.

Red Bull Racing is proving itself unstoppable in the league so far, with racer Sergio Perez winning two of the nine races and Max Verstappen collecting the trophy at each of the others.

You can find information on this next race below, particularly how to watch it, whether you live in the US, UK, Australia or somewhere else entirely. There's also information on the rest of the racing league, though the streaming information remains the same.

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 and how to watch the IndyCar series if they're more your speed.

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

Next Formula 1 race: British Grand Prix, July 9

The next F1 race takes place on Sunday, July 9, and it's the British Grand Prix which is set at Silverstone. This is the oldest entry in the F1 calendar, with the race lasting as long as Formula 1 itself.

Silverstone is a 5.891 km and 18-turn track, with racers completing 52 laps of the course for a grand distance of 306.198 km. The current circuit configuration is known for having one of F1's highest average speeds, and also tends to feature intense rivalries between racers.

Current 2023 F1 champion Max Verstappen has never won the British Grand Prix, though not for a lack of trying. Teammate Sergio Perez came second in 2022, so Red Bull still could have it in the bag.

While the race itself is on Sunday, July 9, there are other events that build up to it, and you can find the full schedule here:

Friday, July 7

• Practice 1: 7:30 am ET/4:30 am PT/12:30 am UK
• Practice 2: 11 am ET/8 am PT/4 pm UK

Saturday, July 8

• Practice 3: 6:30 am ET/3:30 am PT/11:30 am UK
• Qualifying: 10 am ET/7 am PT/3 pm UK

Sunday, July 9

• Race: 10 am ET/7 am PT/3 pm UK

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.

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).
