F1: How to Watch and Stream the 2025 Belgian Grand Prix
With just eight points separating the McLaren duo at the top of the Drivers Championship, this weekend's Belgian Grand Prix looks set to provide a pivotal moment in the battle for the 2025 F1 title. Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the race as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are. Back-to-back wins for Lando Norris at the Red Bull Ring and at Silverstone have whittled down Oscar Piastri's lead at the top of the Drivers' Championship to single digits, with the momentum now firmly resting with Norris coming into this weekend's action at Belgium's Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps racetrack. Famously regarded by the late F1 legend Ayrton Senna as his favorite circuit, Spa runs 7km long, making it the longest track on the calendar. With its 19 corners and dramatic elevation changes, it's one of the most thrilling tracks for spectators and drivers alike. The Belgian GP takes place at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Stavelot on Sunday, July 27, at 3 p.m. CEST local time in Belgium. Starting time in the US and Canada is 9 a.m. ET (6 a.m. PT). In the UK it's 2 p.m. BST. Australian viewers will be looking at an 11 p.m. AEST start. The entire race weekend, including practice sessions and qualifying, will be shown in the US on ESPN's family of TV and streaming networks. Folks who want to follow the whole race weekend will need access to the ABC and ESPN news channels on cable or live TV streaming services, or the ESPN Plus streaming service. We've broken down everything you need to know, including how to use a VPN to stream the race, and all the other F1 races this season. Lewis Hamilton won last season's Belgian Grand Prix after his then-Mercedes teammate George Russell was disqualified for having an underweight car. Getty Images Livestream the Belgian GP in the US Every Formula One race during the 2025 season will be televised on ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC. All practice and qualifying sessions and all F1 Sprint events will also be broadcast. This race will be broadcast on ESPN. Selected races will also stream on ESPN Plus, featuring two alternate streams for all races (Driver Tracker and mixed onboard cameras). James Martin/CNET ESPN Plus Carries F1 races in the US ESPN's standalone streaming service is great for casual fans of F1 and is a must-have accessory for fanatics. It costs $12 a month or $120 a year. If you're an F1 fan who's also looking to get your Disney fix, the Disney trio bundle (Hulu, Disney Plus and ESPN Plus) might end up being an even better buy. It's great for fans who love catching the parts of the race weekend that typically air on ESPN2 or ESPNews, and also want the latest Marvel movies or Star Wars shows. If you're a diehard fan of motorsports and Formula Series racing, ESPN Plus might not be for you, given that it rarely covers F2, F3 or Porsche Supercar racing. That's why ESPN Plus is ideal for casual fans who enjoy catching a race every once in a while or fans who don't want or need all of the extra bells and whistles of F1 TV but want to beef up their coverage options. Read our full review of ESPN Plus. See at ESPN Plus How to watch the Belgian GP online from anywhere with a VPN If you're traveling abroad and want to keep up with the Formula One season while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you're considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform's terms of service to ensure compliance. If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider's installation instructions, ensuring you're connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial. James Martin/CNET ExpressVPN Best VPN for streaming Price $13 per month, $100 for the first 15 months (then $117 per year) or $140 for the first 28 months (then $150 per year) Latest Tests No DNS leaks detected, 18% speed loss in 2025 tests Network 3,000 plus servers in 105 countries Jurisdiction British Virgin Islands ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices.

Gabriel Bonfim wants Colby Covington next: 'An appropriate next step'
Gabriel Bonfim isn't listening to the noise. Mentally, he's already on to the next battle. The rising Brazilian contender picked up his most prolific win to date on July 12 when he defeated welterweight legend Stephen Thompson at UFC on ESPN 70 by split decision. "I feel great and I'm happy with my performance," Bonfim recently told MMA Junkie through a Portuguese-language translator. "My opponent is a legend of the sport, so that victory gives me confidence moving forward, and also shows me some things that I need to work on if I'm to achieve that status myself. I'm very hungry to build on my momentum." As for the judges' decision and the wave of disagreement that came from fans online, Bonfim remains confident. "I've gone back and watched it a couple times," Bonfim said. "Overall, I'm happy. I think it was a good performance, and I stuck to the game plan. I think it was an exciting fight, which is something that's very important to me -- giving the fans something to enjoy and remember." "... I was confident that the judges would make the correct decision, and they did in declaring me the winner. There were aspects of the fight that made it close at times, but I did enough to win. Perhaps those who doubt my victory haven't rewatched the fight, which is something that I recommend." Regardless of the armchair judges' nasty social media comments, the record books have a big "W" on Bonfim's resume. The victory even landed him in the official UFC rankings at No. 14. He's since bumped to No. 13. "Myself and my team have worked so hard to get to this point," Bonfim said. "It's an honor to be recognized in this way, and it gives me even more confidence that I can continue to climb the rankings and be the champion." With one welterweight great defeated, Bonfim has turned his attention to another one – one that is a bit more loud and bombastic. Bonfim wants Colby Covington. "I'd like to fight Colby Covington," Bonfim said. "A fight against a former champion is an appropriate next step in my career after defeating Thompson, who also has a very impressive resume. That's a great matchup for me, and I believe it makes the most sense for my career. Most importantly, I've heard from a lot of fans, online and in person, who say that's the fight they want to see next, so let's do it." Bonfim, 27, has won three fights in a row since his first career loss to Nicolas Dalby. Covington, 37, has lost three of his most recent four fights including most recently a December bout vs. Joaquin Buckley.
