You can watch Formula 1 in Australia mainly through paid sports platforms (for all races) and limited free-to-air coverage (Australian Grand Prix live plus highlights).

Main ways to watch F1

  • Kayo Sports (streaming)
    • Streams every practice, qualifying, and race live and on-demand in Australia.
* Uses the Fox Sports F1 feed, with options like multi‑camera and replays, and offers a free trial for new users from time to time.
  • Foxtel / Fox Sports (pay TV)
    • Fox Sports holds the broadcast rights for F1 on Australian television and shows every session live, including practice, qualifying, and Grands Prix, often in 4K on compatible setups.
* Available via traditional Foxtel set‑top box or Foxtel Now streaming, depending on your package.

Free options in Australia

  • Network 10 / 10 Bold / 10 Play
    • Shows the Australian Grand Prix live free-to-air and via 10 Play streaming.
* Provides free extended highlights for other races during the season.
  • F1 TV (official app) – limited in AU
    • In Australia, the full live “F1 TV Pro” race streaming is not available, but the service offers timing, archives, and documentaries through F1 TV Access.
* Useful as a second‑screen companion alongside Kayo or Foxtel for data and historic races rather than for live race video.

Quick FAQ style pointers

  • Cheapest legal way to watch all races: A Kayo subscription (Standard/Basic tier) is typically the lowest‑cost option for full-season live coverage.
  • Completely free live race in Australia: Only the Australian Grand Prix is streamed live for free on 10/10 Play, with other races limited to free highlights.
  • Visiting or living outside Australia: Rights differ by country; for example, some European markets offer free live races on national channels while Australia mostly relies on pay TV/streaming.
