Eight Formula 1 races are left in 2026, and the first of them is this weekend. The Bahrain Grand Prix, called off in April because of the war in Iran, has been moved to the Sepang circuit in Malaysia and runs on Sunday, October 4. The season finishes in Abu Dhabi on December 6.
Here is what is left, how to watch each round free on F1 Streams, and the official options if you would rather pay.

How to watch F1 free on F1 Streams
Each Grand Prix weekend has one page on F1 Streams, and it covers every session. Open it from the Formula 1 schedule about an hour before the session starts. The links are listed with their quality, language, number of ads and the TV channel each one carries. If one stops, go back and open the next. There is no account to make.
If you used to search for F1 bites links, this is the same idea: one page per race and several streams to choose from. One thing to remember is that UK clocks go back on October 25, so from the United States Grand Prix our UK times are in GMT.
Official ways to watch
In the UK, Sky Sports F1 shows every session live. In the United States the rights moved to Apple TV this season. In many other countries F1 TV Pro, Formula 1's own streaming service, shows every session live. If none of those is available where you are, the free links on the F1 page are there for every race until Abu Dhabi.
