    We’ve been looking forward to this, as Vegas hosted one of the most exciting races last year, with plenty of daring overtakes on the tight, concrete-walled corners. The nighttime desert environment is the coldest event on the calendar, making grip a serious issue on Sin City’s slippery street circuit. Russell starts on pole, but all eyes will be on Verstappen as he could win the title tonight. So let us show you everything you need to know about where to watch a free Las Vegas F1 live stream, no matter where you are in the world.

    As also detailed in our free full-season F1 live stream guide, we can help you watch every race this season through similar options to today’s. And if the free live streams aren’t for you, we highly recommend the super-extensive highlights show from Britain, which replays almost the entire race – we’ve dedicated a section to this later in this article.

    The Las Vegas GP is streamed for free in some countries, and that’s where we come in, as we can show you how to bypass geo-restrictions that prevent viewers from watching outside the broadcaster’s base country. We’ll go into more detail below, but if you want to join from abroad you’ll need a VPN to spoof the location of your viewing device to match the broadcast. It’s super easy to get started, and you’ll succeed use the same method to watch each race this seasonalong with even more streaming options such as the events below:

    Where you can watch a free Las Vegas F1 live stream

    The easiest option for a free live stream of the Las Vegas GP this weekend is to use a VPN to tune into one of the free streams mentioned above. If you miss the live race, the extended highlights show from Britain we mentioned is a great alternative and comes with full English commentary.

    Our preferred option among the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, with a 30 day money back guarantee if you are dissatisfied. Better yet, you can get an extra three months for free and save 49% on a subscription. To learn more about the security app, check out our ExpressVPN review.

    We’ve been using these free F1 live streams all season (and last season) and today double-checked VPN compatibility with each channel’s programming schedule to ensure the race goes ahead. These channels offer every race except the Austrian option, as races alternate between ORF1 and Servus TV every weekend – ORF1 has the free Las Vegas F1 live stream.

    How to watch Las Vegas F1 live streams for free with a VPN

    • Sign up for a VPN if you don’t have one.
    • Install it on the device you use to watch the race.
    • Turn it on and set it to a country with a free live stream.
    • Go to ORF1 (Austria) | RTBF (Belgium).
    • Watch the live sections of the sites.
    • Race start: Today, 10pm PT / 1am ET (Sun) / 6am GMT (Sun) / 7am CET / 11am AWST (Sun).

    With its consistent performance, reliable security, and extensive global streaming features, ExpressVPN is the best VPN out there, excelling in all specifications and offering many advanced features that make it exceptional. Better yet, you can save up to 49% and get three months free today.

    Will there be extended Las Vegas F1 highlights later?

    In the UK, Channel 4 has expanded highlights just hours after the race on Sunday 24 November at 7.30am ET / 12.30pm GMT / 1.30pm CET / 8.30pm AWST.

    While this highlights show usually features many pre- and post-race discussions and interviews, a large portion of the running time is usually devoted to the race itself. For example, the first week’s live race was about 92 minutes, and I timed the highlights portion of the show at 72 minutes. This week’s highlights show is two and a half hours, so I expect you’ll see a huge amount of time spent on the race.

    Overall, it’s still my favorite viewing option at the moment compared to signing up for a subscription service or watching without English commentary.

    You can also watch these highlights on-demand the next day. That said, we sometimes find that this version is a bit shorter than the usual highlights program.

    You can tune in online at the Channel 4 website and use a VPN as described above to watch from outside the UK.

    How to watch the Las Vegas F1 live stream in the US

    ESPN is covering the remaining Formula 1 races this season, but ESPN+ and ABC have a few as well, including this week’s Las Vegas GP. If you don’t already have one of these channels, ESPN+ has a rolling one-month contract and starts at just $11.99 per month.

    For ESPN, consider some cord-cutting options. The Orange tier of Sling TV usually costs $40 per month, but there’s a special offer right now that drops your first month down to $20. FuboTV is another option and this week comes with a 7-day free trial and a discount from $20. DirecTV Stream is an even more comprehensive cord-cutting option in terms of channel selection, but prices start at $86.98 per month after the free trial.

    ESPN+ (monthly subscription)

    ESPN Plus is designed for sports and gives subscribers access to live MLB, NHL, NFL, football, golf and UFC fights. You can pay $12 monthly or sign up for an annual contract, saving you about $20 per year. There’s also a bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.

    For just the essentials without the extra fluff, Sling TV is the streaming service you’re looking for. It’s more customizable than other plans, with three options to choose from so you only pay for what you need. New members often receive a significant discount on their first month.

    DirecTV Stream logo

    DirecTV Stream, formerly known as AT&T TV, offers streaming access to a large selection of live channels, including most of the major networks typically found in traditional cable packages.

    FuboTv Showcase

    Fubo Pro subscription

    Fubo is the streaming service for sports fans. Its vast library of channels includes regional and international sports competitions, setting it apart from the competition. You can also add additional programming to your plan, but this will cost you extra.

    How to watch the Las Vegas F1 live stream in the UK

    Do you want a free option? Channel 4 offers an excellent extended highlights show a few hours after each race (see above), which is a solid alternative considering the length of the show. They even do qualifying highlights a few hours later, which also end the day before.

    If you really want to see everything livea Sky Sports deal is the way to go, and this is also a great way to get it in glorious 4K. Sky covers every race weekend, so you don’t have to switch between Sky and networks like TNT like you do with the Premier League.

    If you don’t want a traditional TV contract and prefer a monthly option that you can drop in whenever you like, Sky’s Now TV offshoot has a Sky Sports tier that costs £11.99 for a day pass, or £34 .99 per month.

    The main appeal of Now TV is that it has a rolling one-month contract, but if you need it every week then getting a good Sky Sports package might be a better deal as you get a lot more value get for your money. Plus, Now TV still operates in the dark ages and has the nerve to charge extra for HD in 2024.
