Formula 1 shifts from the forests of Spa to Budapest as the Hungaroring hosts the Hungarian Grand Prix: the last chance to watch a race until the end of August, thanks to the summer break.

Live coverage in the UK remains exclusive to Sky Sports F1, which will broadcast every session from Friday practice to Sunday afternoon’s race. Fans can also stream via the Sky Sports app or with a flexible NOW TV pass.

Extended highlights of qualifying and the race will be available free-to-view on Channel 4, airing shortly after the main event.

Unlike Spa’s sweeping straights, the tight and twisty 2.722 mile circuit is famous for its relentless sequence of technical corners and minimal overtaking opportunities, putting a premium on qualifying and race strategy.

The valley setting provides panoramic views, and high summer temperatures can add to the challenge for teams and drivers.

How to watch F1 – TV broadcast and streaming details

Live TV

To watch the full Hungarian Grand Prix weekend live, you’ll need access to Sky Sports F1 or NOW TV, which will broadcast every session live from the Hungaroring, including all practice sessions, qualifying, and the race.

Sky Sports subscribers can enjoy enhanced viewing options such as expert commentary from David Croft and Martin Brundle, exclusive onboard cameras with team radio, and the innovative ‘Battle Channel’ that highlights the most intense on-track battles — all available through the Sky Sports app.

Additionally, there are behind-the-scenes features, VIP interviews, and detailed post-race analysis.

If you don’t have Sky, NOW TV offers live streaming with flexible daily or monthly passes. While Channel 4 in the UK does not show the race live, it provides free highlights of qualifying and the race shortly after the event, ensuring fans don’t miss the weekend’s biggest moments.

For viewers outside the UK, Formula 1 coverage is available live through F1 TV Pro and broadcasters like ESPN in the US and Viaplay in select European countries.

NOW TV members can also watch the entire race weekend live on Sky Sports F1 with either a Day or Month Membership, streaming across a wide range of devices for flexibility.

For real-time timings, on-track data, and interactive features like driver tracker maps and tyre stats, fans can use the official F1 app or visit the F1 website to stay updated throughout each session.
