If you also love watching those one-seater car races, then that is now possible. However, in childhood, those races were the highlights of pre-scheduled matches. Thanks to Federal International Automobile, which made it possible to watch live matches even in India. You’ve guessed it; we’re talking about F1 TV that you can access in India.

Although Formula One car matches have been going on for the last 73 years, only a small number of people know about the F1 TV app. Because F1 TV is an OTT app, it shows you different features and requires a subscription. That’s the only reason people return. In this article, we will discuss everything about F1 TV along with its installation.

How to Watch Formula 1 in India for Free in 2023: Explained by F1 TV

Listen first. As we said previously, we used to watch Formula One matches on the Start Sports TV Channel or later on Hotstar. Currently, Formula One broadcasts its matches here. But now they have launched their own OTT platform named “F1 TV App.” With this app, you can get full coverage of the entire Formula One 2023 season. It is available in more than 100 countries, including India. To use this app, you need a Formula One account and an active subscription.

If we talk about F1 TV app availability, you can get F1 TV on both Android and iOS, Android TV, desktop (via browser), Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Chromecast. With the F1 TV App, you can watch F1 matches on one screen, along with the match schedule on the second screen. Additionally, to use F1 TV, you must subscribe. The F1 TV app offers two subscription plans: F1 TV Access and F1 TV Pro. Using the F1 TV Access app, you can’t stream live matches and commentaries, but it’s an affordable plan worth Rs. 239 per month.
