The 2024 Formula 1 Championship continues its journey this weekend with the Chinese Grand Prix at the iconic Shanghai International Circuit. The 5.451 km (3.387 mi) track, with its unique final third section running alongside the impressive Shanghai skyline, has been a mainstay on the F1 calendar since 2004.
All eyes will be on reigning world champion Max Verstappen as he looks to extend his championship lead over rivals like Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and the resurgent Fernando Alonso. However, with unpredictable weather often playing a role, anything can happen in the race’s 56 laps around the technically demanding circuit.
For fans looking to catch all the action live, there are numerous streaming options available both officially through F1’s television partners and various third-party subscription services:
In the United States, ESPN will broadcast the race live along with all practice and qualifying sessions through their ESPN+ streaming service and across their cable channels.
UK viewers can tune in via Sky Sports F1, with livestreaming available through NOW TV passes and the Sky Go app.
Fans across most of Europe will have access through the F1TV Pro over-the-top streaming platform, which provides live coverage of every session along with onboard cameras and team radio.
In China, the race will air live on the CCTV network and streaming platform Tencent Sports. Many other regions have pay-TV and streaming options available through local F1 broadcast partners.
Of course, the best way to experience the thrills is by attending in person at the Shanghai International Circuit to witness the incredible speeds, ear-splitting engine notes and gladiatorial on-track battles unfold in real time. But for those watching from home or on the go, a wealth of live viewing choices ensures no one misses a second of the action from the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix.
