F1 on Channel 4: TV coverage, schedule and highlights in 2024
Your complete guide to watching Formula 1 on Channel 4, including TV coverage details and highlights.
Formula 1 will continue to be shown on free-to-air TV with Channel 4 to remain an outlet for the pinnacle of motorsport.
This is the ninth consecutive year of F1 drama on Channel 4 with a weekly highlights show and one particularly special Grand Prix to be shown on the platform.
The British Grand Prix will be sub-let by Sky Sports – the dominant force in F1 broadcasting in the UK – so everyone can tune in for free on 7th July.
Formula 1 has picked up swathes of new fans in recent seasons thanks to the boom of Netflix smash-hit Drive to Survive, and Channel 4 offers a great, free way to keep track of the campaign without needing to tune in for every single turn during the season.
RadioTimes.com brings you the complete guide to watching Formula 1 on Channel 4, including details of live coverage and highlights.

Will F1 be on Channel 4?
Yes! Channel 4 will show some live F1 action during the 2024 season and beyond – but don't get too excited.
Formula 1 has been broadcast on Channel 4 since 2016 after BBC relinquished the rights three years before their deal expired due to budget cuts.
Channel 4 picked up a number of races each season and broadcast them all live, without adverts, throughout the campaign before Sky splashed the cash to secure exclusive broadcast rights for every race apart from the British Grand Prix.
Channel 4 currently sub-lets British Grand Prix coverage from Sky and this looks set to continue indefinitely.
