f1 where to watch australia

You can watch the F1 Australian Grand Prix in Australia mainly through Foxtel/Fox Sports, Kayo Sports, free-to-air Channel 10/10 Play for the Aussie GP itself, and F1 TV (where available in your region).

Main Options in Australia

  • Foxtel & Fox Sports
    • Fox Sports (via Foxtel or Foxtel Now) shows every F1 session live in Australia, including practice, qualifying, and the race, often in 4K where supported.
* This is the “traditional TV” route if you already have a Foxtel box or Foxtel Now subscription.
  • Kayo Sports (Streaming)
    • Kayo carries the same Fox Sports F1 coverage but as a streaming-only service on smart TVs, phones, tablets, and browsers.
* It’s usually the easiest way to stream the full season live if you don’t want a full Foxtel bundle.
  • Free-to-air (Australian GP only)
    • For the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, Channel 10, 10 Bold and 10 Play provide free-to-air coverage in Australia, so you can at least watch the home race without a paid sports subscription.

Using F1 TV

  • F1 TV Pro / F1 TV Premium
    • F1 TV Pro offers live coverage of all sessions, onboards, data, and pre/post-race shows; F1 TV Premium adds 4K/HDR and multiview features on supported devices.
* Availability and content can vary by country, so in Australia you should check the F1 TV site or app to see what tier is officially offered for your account region.
