In the UK, the only way you can watch every F1 live is through Sky. It has the exclusive rights to broadcast live races, which is why Channel 4 can show only highlights later on in the day (aside from the British GP).
However, you don’t need to sign up to Sky TV to watch the Sky Sports F1 channel, as it’s also available through Now, Sky’s streaming service which used to be called Now TV.
Ahead of the start of the 2024 F1 season, Now is doing a special deal where you can get all 12 Sky Sports channels for just £21 per month, instead of the usual £33.99 per month.
Get Now Sports Membership for £20 per month
This is a 12-month offer, meaning it covers all 24 race weekends from the 2024 F1 season and much more besides. Sky Sports is the main place to watch the Premier League in the UK, plus loads of other top-class live sport, including golf, cricket, rugby and boxing.
However, it’s particularly good for F1 in 2024, with Now offering a new range of extra ‘Bonus Stream’ features. These include the option to go onboard with any driver, hear audio from onboard cameras and full team radio across all races, Sprints, qualifying and practice sessions.
You also get a real-time timing screen and track map, plus the Sky Sports ‘Battle Channel’ for access to all the close racing.
At full price, 12 months of Now Sports would cost you £419.88. With this offer, it’s just £252 – that’s a saving of 40%.
It also includes a month of free Now Boost, which adds 1080p Full HD video (rather than 720p), no ads and the ability to watch on up to three devices at the same time (rather than the usual one). After that, it’ll cost the usual £6 per month.
There’s no contract so you can cancel at any time, but the offer ends at 9am UK time on 12 March, and you need to stay subscribed to get that lower price for all nine months.
You can get Now on most devices, including phones, laptops, PCs, tablets, streaming sticks (including Amazon Fire TV and Roku) plus many set-top boxes including YouView.
If you want to watch anything regularly on Sky Sports, this is the cheapest it’s been for a while.
