Guide for Watching Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025: Streaming Options, Race Schedule, Practices
The much-anticipated Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025 is set to take place on Sunday, September 21. This street circuit, nestled within Baku's medieval city walls, offers a unique blend of a vast straight and tight, twisty corners, making it one of the most challenging tracks on the Formula One calendar.
The race will start at 3 p.m. local time at Baku. For those in the United States, the action can be watched on ESPN at 7 a.m. ET. In the U.K., the race will be broadcast on Sky Sports at 12 p.m. BST. For viewers in Austria and Luxembourg, Formula 1 fans can enjoy the race for free on Servus On and RTL Zwee, respectively.
The Baku City Circuit is the fourth-longest circuit on the Formula One calendar, after Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Jeddah Street Circuit, and the soon-to-be-added Las Vegas Strip Circuit. Spanning 6.003 kilometres, the race will take place over 51 laps.
With its lack of run off areas, a puncture or mechanical failure could prove fatal at the Baku City Circuit. This adds an extra layer of excitement to the already thrilling race.
