F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream — how to watch the race in Baku free and online

F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream — how to watch the race in Baku free and online.

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream sees the F1 teams take to the streets of Baku. Here’s how to watch it live online.

If the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream is anything like the previous four races in Baku, we’re in for a treat — because it’s usually packed with incident. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc is on pole and you can watch it from anywhere if you know how.

So read on and we’ll show you how to watch F1 live streams from anywhere with a VPN(opens in new tab), potentially for FREE.

Leclerc put in a superb final qualifying lap yesterday to take top spot on the grid for today’s race, ahead of the Red Bull pair of Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen.

Carlos Sainz was fourth in the second Ferrari, while the Mercedes of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton will start fifth and seventh, sandwiching the Alphatauri of Pierre Gasly.

Don’t expect that order to stay unchanged on the streets of Baku, though, because this race has seen more than its share of incidents in its short history. Drama is ever-present here, whether it’s Sebastian Vettel rear-ending and then swerving into Lewis Hamilton in 2017, Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo colliding in 2018 or the Dutch driver suffering a tire blowout when leading in last year.

Leclerc will be hoping he doesn’t get a dose of that bad luck today, particularly as he could become the first driver since 2001 to take four consecutive poles and fail to turn any of them into wins.

Unlike in Monaco last weekend, there’s no sign of any rain, and indeed track temperatures are expected to be high. That could have a big effect on the way the race plays out, as none of the teams carried out long runs in these kind of conditions. As always, tire strategy will play a part.

We’ll find out very soon what happens, with the race due to start at 7 a.m. ET / 12 p.m. BST today (Sunday, June 12).

There are multiple ways to watch — including some free options — so read on and we’ll show you how to watch the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream.

2022 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX LIVE STREAMS AROUND THE WORLD

How to watch the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in the US

The F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream will be on ESPN, with coverage from Baku split across the various ESPN channels over the course of the three days.

ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as cable TV replacement services, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.

Our pick of these would be Sling TV: the Sling Orange package costs just $35 per month and comes with more than 30 channels including ESPN. Plus, right now Sling is offering $10 off the first month(opens in new tab).

As well as being available through your cable service, you can also stream the action via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN’s website. However, you’ll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions.

If you don’t want to pay for live ESPN in some fashion or another, your best alternative is F1 TV Pro(opens in new tab). This is F1’s own official F1 live stream service, and as with ESPN’s own coverage, it uses the feed from Sky Sports F1.

F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month or $80 for the season, which is much better value considering there are 22 races this year. Plus you also get Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup races, and F1’s archive of classic Grands Prix.

And remember, if you’re usually based in the U.S. but aren’t there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN(opens in new tab) — meaning you can view the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream from anywhere in the world.

If you’re not already a Sling TV subscriber, you’ll want Sling Orange in order to watch ESPN. This costs $35/month and includes dozens of other great channels. Sling also currently offers $10 off the first month.

Love sports? Then check out Fubo.TV. The channel lineup includes ESPN2 and ABC, plus other top networks including Bravo, FX and MTV.

How to watch the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in the UK

As usual, Sky Sports F1 will show the 2022 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream, and in up to 4K resolution, with the race itself starting at 12 p.m. on Sunday (June 12).

You’ll need to be a Sky Sports(opens in new tab) subscriber to watch it: the Sky Sports F1 channel is available for £18 per month, and there are packages available that give you lots more channels for only a bit extra.

To follow it in ultra high-definition 4K, you’ll need to pay a little more: you’ll need a Sky Q set-top box or Sky Glass and a package that includes both Ultra HD and Sky Sports F1. In total, that’d come to at least £45 a month, plus a £20 one-off payment if you’re not an existing subscriber.

A far cheaper option is to buy a Now Sports Pass(opens in new tab). This will give you all 11 of the Sky Sports channels for a limited time, with pricing starting at £9.99 for a Day Pass and £33.99 for one month. There’s no 4K available here, though.

Again, if you’re usually based in the U.K. but are elsewhere at the moment, you can still watch the services you subscribe to by using one of the best VPN services.

How to watch the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in Canada

TSN has the Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in Canada in English, while RDS has coverage in French. F1 TV Pro(opens in new tab) also remains an option for fans.

All sessions are broadcast on TSN, and if you receive the network through your cable or satellite provider, you can use TSN Go by signing in with your TV service credentials. Cord-cutters will want to check out TSN Direct(opens in new tab), which comes in day- and month-long passes for $8 or $20 CAD, respectively. The TSN app(opens in new tab) will allow you to live stream the race from your phone, streaming box or supported device.

Not actually in Canada at the moment? ExpressVPN(opens in new tab) and other VPN services can help you access the services you already subscribe to.

How to watch the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in Australia

Fox Sports has the rights to the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix live stream in Australia, which means you can watch all the action from Baku online via Foxtel(opens in new tab).

Kayo Sports(opens in new tab) is another option. This service offers new subscribers a 14-day free trial, while one-month subscriptions start at $25 — meaning you could sign up now and watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for free.

To use either of these services when you’re elsewhere you’ll also need one of the best VPN services to follow the action from your home country. We highly recommend ExpressVPN(opens in new tab).
