Canadian Grand Prix: How to watch F1 in the US without cable
Today's the day! Formula 1 speeds into Canada this Sunday for the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix. Max Verstappen is still in the lead for the drivers’ championship with 170 points, with fellow Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez holding down second place at 117 points. Team Red Bull rolls into the weekend on the cusp of recording its 100th F1 grand prix victory. Last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix saw Verstappen take the win, with Lewis Hamilton and George Russell taking second and third respectively, making it a double podium finish for Mercedes.
Whether you’ve already got some miles on you as a Formula 1 fan, or this weekend’s race is your first time tuning into the action on the track, watching or streaming this wildly popular international sport from the US can be a challenge. If you don’t want to have to race to find the F1 Canada Grand Prix on TV, we’ve got you covered. Here’s how to watch F1 races this weekend:

How to stream F1 for free from the US
Don’t want to deal with racing to find F1 coverage across ESPN platforms every Grand Prix? We’ve got a hack for you. Residents of Luxembourg or Austria are able to watch free F1 live streams of every Grand Prix in 2023 on the free-to-air ServusTV and ORF. If you don’t live in either of those countries, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN.
A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the F1 race this weekend without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.
