If you’re in Australia and want to watch Formula 1, you have a few solid options for 2025 events, including the Australian Grand Prix:

• TV broadcasts in Australia
  • Fox Sports (via Foxtel/Foxtel Now) continues to hold the primary live broadcast rights for F1 in Australia, covering all practice, qualifying, and races. Some events and sessions may be shown in 4K on supported platforms.

* Free-to-air option: The Australian Grand Prix (and sometimes other races) has been shown on Channel 10/10 Play in recent years under anti-siphoning arrangements, providing at least select coverage for fans without a subscription. Availability can vary by event, so check the current year’s schedule.

• Streaming services
  • Kayo Sports offers live (and on-demand) coverage of all F1 sessions as part of its sports lineup, typically including the full race weekend slate via Fox Sports production. You’ll need a Kayo subscription.

* Foxtel Go (the streaming component of Foxtel) provides live access to Fox Sports channels for subscribers, enabling viewing on compatible devices.

* F1 TV Pro (the official F1 streaming service) provides live timing and on-demand content; however, live race coverage availability and features can vary by country and may not include full live access in Australia. If available, it’s an additional option beyond local broadcasters.

• Australian Grand Prix specifics
  • The season typically opens with the Australian Grand Prix at Albert Park in Melbourne, with full weekend coverage often available on Fox Sports and Foxtel platforms, and free-to-air options sometimes carrying additions or highlights via 10 Play.

What to check now

• Confirm current rights and channels for 2025, as broadcasting deals can change. Look for:
  • Fox Sports channel numbers on Foxtel and Foxtel Now for live practice, qualifying, and races.
  • Availability of 10 Play for free-to-air coverage of the Australian Grand Prix or other selected events.
  • Whether Kayo Sports offers all sessions live and if any regional restrictions apply.
• If you’re traveling or remote, consider streaming options available on supported devices (smart TVs, mobile apps, web) and ensure you have the appropriate subscription.

Direct answer: In Australia, you can watch F1 primarily on Fox Sports via Foxtel/Foxtel Now, with live coverage of all sessions. Free-to-air coverage (including the Australian Grand Prix) has historically been available on Channel 10/10 Play, though availability can vary by event. For streaming, Kayo Sports carries the F1 weekend live and on demand, and Foxtel Go provides live access to Fox Sports for subscribers. If you want the official streaming service, F1 TV Pro is another option where available, though live coverage there may be limited in Australia.
