F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream — how to watch qualifying free and online

The 2022 F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream takes place tomorrow, but before that there’s qualifying to come next today. Whatever happens, Max Verstappen won’t be starting on pole, though — he’ll start near the back of the grid.

You won’t want to miss a second, 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.

Seven cars will start tomorrow’s grand prix from the back of the grid whatever happens in today’s qualifying, having taken too many engine parts so far this season. Among them are title leader Verstappen of Red Bull and his main rival Charles Leclerc of Ferrari.

McLaren’s Lando Norris, Alfa Romeo’s Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, Alpine’s Esteban Ocon and Haas’ Mick Schumacher will all also start from the back, with qualifying determining which of those seven will start where.

That leaves the way open for the likes of Carlos Sainz or Sergio Perez to win tomorrow, or potentially for one of the Mercedes drivers to take a first victory of the season. However, both Lewis Hamilton and George Russell were way off the pace in all three practice sessions.

Indeed, Perez and Verstappen were fastest overall, by some distance, so don’t bet against the latter driver charging through the field and taking another win here.

Fortunately the weather at Spa looks to be set fair for today and tomorrow, so there shouldn’t be a repeat of the chaos last year that saw just two laps completed, behind the safety car, in what was a true F1 farce.

Qualifying starts today at 3 p.m. BST / 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, and there are multiple ways to tune in, including some free options. So read on and we’ll show you how to watch the F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream.

2022 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX LIVE STREAMS AROUND THE WORLD

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

The F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream will be on ESPN, with coverage 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 50% 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 Belgian Grand Prix live stream from anywhere in the world.
