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.
The F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream starts at 2 p.m. BST / 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. ET on Sunday (Aug. 28). Qualifying is today (Saturday).

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.
And don’t forget to check out our full 2022 F1 live streams hub for more information including the current standings and the full schedule.
If you’re lucky enough to live in Austria or Luxembourg then you can enjoy every second of the F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream for FREE.
That’s because the free-to-air ServusTV(opens in new tab) in Austria and RTL Zwee(opens in new tab) in Luxembourg will be showing every session of the Grand Prix, including qualifying and practice.
But what if you’re usually based in one of those countries but aren’t at home for the Belgian Grand Prix live stream? Maybe you’re on holiday and don’t want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you’d usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don’t worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. To take Austria as an option, an Austrian who’s currently outside of the country could tune into Servus for Belgian Grand Prix coverage simply by signing up for a free account then using one of the best VPN services.
Our favorite VPN service right now is ExpressVPN(opens in new tab), but you’ll find others in our best VPN services list.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN(opens in new tab) is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view an Austrian service, you’d select Austria from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ServusTV or another website and watch the race.
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.
As usual, Sky Sports F1 will show the 2022 Belgian Grand Prix live stream, and in up to 4K resolution, with the race itself starting at 2 p.m. on Sunday (Aug. 28).
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.
TSN has the Belgian 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.
Fox Sports has the rights to the F1 Belgian Grand Prix live stream in Australia, which means you can watch all the action 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 Belgian 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).
