What about watching F1 Live in other countries?

<br>

The simplest option is to check F1TV availability, if however it isn't available in your country then you should check the list of F1 broadcasters and then see if the broadcaster offers a digital only package.

<br>

Can I watch F1 Live with a VPN?

<br>

A Virtual Private Network lets you access online services as if you are in another country, however remember that not always will a VPN work in access, sometimes the service is able to use methods to discover if you are using a VPN and block access.

F1TV will not let you subscribe to a different country and then watch from your home country, it requires a billing address within the country for which the package you subscribe relates. This means you cannot use F1TV Pro if you are not in a country that has F1TV Pro access, you can check which level of access your country has on the F1TV website.

You may find you are able to access third party streaming services such as Sky Sports and ESPN through a VPN but typically you need to sign up with a billing address in the country of service.

<br>

What about free F1 live streams?

<br>

It's possible to find free illegal F1 streams online, however be aware that Formula 1 are very active in maintaining the rights of those that have paid for the broadcast licence and you are exposing yourself to risks if you choose this method. Additionally the experience is often compromised vs official streams, our recommendation is to use an official stream for the optimum viewing experience and to avoid any risks of prosecution.

F1TV Pro is our recommended option if it is available in your country.
