Partner guide for observing Belgian Grand Prix 2025: Stream the F1 event from any location
Get ready for the thrilling Belgian Grand Prix, taking place from 25th-27th July 2025 at the iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot. Here's a guide on how to watch the race live for free, no matter where you are in the world.
Europe
Several European broadcasters offer free live streams of the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. To access these streams from outside Europe, you'll need a VPN set to Belgium (RTBF), Germany (RTL), or Austria (ORF On).
- RTBF (Belgium) streams the entire Belgian GP weekend for free online. Access outside Belgium requires a VPN set to Belgium.
- RTL (Germany) offers free live coverage of the Belgian GP, including qualifying and the race. Access outside Germany requires a VPN set to Germany.
- ORF On (Austria) provides a free stream but only within Austria; outside Austria, a VPN set to Austria is needed to access this.
Outside Europe
For viewers outside Europe, the options are more limited. In the United States, ESPN networks (ESPN, ESPN2, ABC) broadcast the full F1 season, including the Belgian GP. ESPN Plus offers additional camera feeds but is a paid service.
In the UK, Channel 4 offers some free race coverage but usually Sky Sports requires a subscription. In the Netherlands, RTL shows free coverage of the Belgian GP, while in Spain, DAZN has exclusive rights but it is a paid service.
Worldwide Access
To watch the Belgian Grand Prix live for free from anywhere in the world, follow these steps:
- Use a VPN to connect to Belgium (for RTBF), Germany (RTL), or Austria (ORF On).
- Access the broadcaster’s free live stream platform (website or app).
- Sign up if required (generally free).
- Enjoy the full weekend coverage including practice, qualifying, sprint, and the main race.
This method usually works well, as the broadcasters listed are official free-to-air sources for the Belgian GP in their countries. Be aware that paid subscriptions (ESPN Plus in the US, DAZN in Spain, Sky Sports in the UK) offer more stable guaranteed access without VPNs but are not free.
