In Australia, watching Formula 1 (F1) races for free is limited mostly to the Australian Grand Prix. This race is available live and free on Channel 10 and can also be streamed for free on 10 Play, Channel 10's official streaming platform. For other races, free highlights are available on 10 Play, but live coverage generally requires a subscription to services like Foxtel or Kayo Sports. Here are the main options:
- Free live stream of the Australian Grand Prix on Channel 10 and 10 Play.
- Free highlights of all other races on 10 Play.
- Full live coverage of all races is available via Foxtel (Fox Sports) or Kayo Sports subscriptions.
- Kayo Sports offers a free 7-day trial which can be used to watch live F1 races during that period.
If looking for free live streams of other races worldwide, a VPN service can sometimes be used to access free official F1 streams from countries like Switzerland or Belgium where some races are broadcast for free, although live full race streams are otherwise mostly behind paywalls. In summary, the only fully free live race in Australia is the Australian Grand Prix on Channel 10 and 10 Play. For other races, free live viewing requires trials or subscription services, but free highlights are widely available on 10 Play.
