Qualifying on RTL+
While RTL is not broadcasting Formula 1 this weekend, you can still follow the qualifying through their RTL+ platform. A subscription to RTL+ is priced at 8.99 euros, though they no longer offer a free trial month.

Sky will air the qualifying sessions on Sky Sport F1, but you’ll need a Sky Q subscription to access it.

Formula 1 on Wow
If you’re looking for a live streaming option, Sky’s own service, WOW, has you covered. To access live sports, a subscription is required. Unfortunately, the price recently increased; the Wow live sports package costs 35.99 euros monthly. However, if you opt for an annual subscription, the first year is priced at 29.99 euros, after which regular rates apply.
Qualifying on ORF
In Germany, Sky holds the Formula 1 broadcasting rights, whereas in Austria, those rights are split between Servus TV and ORF who alternate broadcasting the races. This weekend, it’s ORF’s turn to showcase the races on free-to-air TV and online at no charge, although these live streams are typically geo-blocked outside the country.
You might use a VPN to bypass these restrictions, but be cautious as this could lead to legal complications.
Formula 1 on Swiss Radio and Television
In Switzerland, the broadcasting rights are fully held by SRF, which covers all 24 races of the season. Similar to Austria, a VPN can help circumvent geo-blocks, leading to potential legal gray areas.
Qualifying via RTBF Auvio
In Belgium, RTBF Auvio is the exclusive broadcaster for Formula 1. Unlike in Austria, they have complete ownership of the rights. The broadcasts are in French and available on their site. To register, you only need an email address and a Belgian postal code, though live streams are also geo-blocked, and a VPN might be necessary, landing you in another legal gray area.
Highlights on YouTube
Highlights from each session will be available on the Sky Sport Formula 1 YouTube channel just a few hours post-qualifying. You can view Q1, Q2, and Q3 highlights there.
