How to Watch the 2025 Austrian GP on a Free Channel
After an exciting win for George Russell in Canada, fans are gearing up for another Grand Prix. You know the deal, it's time to learn how to watch the F1 Austrian GP on a free channel.
The Austrian Grand Prix live stream is available on several premium streaming services. However, not everyone has the luxury of affording them. If you're one of those fans, this free TV channel has your back!
An ideal place to catch up on all Formula One races for free is SRF.
SRF is a Swiss-based TV channel with an on-demand service titled SRF Play. SRF Play's website allows you to enjoy this company's channels, and SRF Zwei broadcasts the 2025 Austria GP online for free.
The great thing about SRF Play is that it's 100% free and doesn't require an account. This means you can waltz in on the race day, click the live-stream, and enjoy. Moreover, it'll be broadcast in Full HD.
As a result, users can enjoy the highest-quality footage of the race.
The problem, however, is that SRF's content is region-locked chiefly to Switzerland. Furthermore, as a Swiss TV channel, it's not in English, and the German-language commentary might break the immersion.
Watch F1 Austria GP With NordVPN
Avid F1 fans looking to save money won't mind. Besides, this is an excellent proposition given the live-stream quality and the fact that it's free, without an account. So, how do people watch SRF abroad?
This question segues into the solution working for thousands of motorsport fans abroad. Most of them have reported that VPNs help tremendously. NordVPN, as the most popular one, seems to work rather well.
It offers VPN servers in Switzerland and is suited to streaming. People often praise its unrestricted speeds, unlimited bandwidth, applications for all devices, and Swiss IPs. There's also a 30-day refund policy.
This allows users to get NordVPN, watch the F1 Austria GP live on a free channel, and get a refund. However, most fans keep using NordVPN long-term and enjoy free F1 broadcasts, saving tons of money on premium services.
You may wonder how this is possible; here's the trick.
SRF Play allows only Swiss-based users to access the content. The trick is to connect to a VPN server in Switzerland, which assigns you a Swiss IP and hides the original one. Now, you appear in Switzerland!
It's a clever trick that doesn't require extensive tech knowledge. Anyone can do it, as proven by the many motorsport lovers worldwide who employ NordVPN to watch F1 and MotoGP races for free online.
And if you want the trick to remain 100% free, we recommend reading our guide on how to try NordVPN for free and without risk.
The trick with the free channel works worldwide. However, you must consider the price if you're in the UK or the US and want English-speaking options. No free channel broadcasts this or any other F1 race for free in those countries.
The race is accessible on Sky Sports and Channel 4 in the UK.
Sky Sports is around £20 monthly, while Channel 4 is £39.99 annually.
You'll find ESPN+ helpful in the US, but it costs $11.99 monthly or $119.99 annually. These platforms provide an exceptional F1 Austria GP live stream quality (up to 4K) in English, but at steep prices.
We should also mention F1 TV as a third option. It costs over $65 annually and has no monthly plans, resulting in a high upfront cost. All things considered, a free channel like SRF remains a solid choice.

Man City's Club World Cup windfall could lead to further spending - but Liverpool shouldn't care
This summer's Club World Cup has, predictably, not been much of a hit in the UK. There is Premier League representation at the tournament in Chelsea and Manchester City, but truth be told, the tournament has failed to capture the imagination of supporters. The Premier League - won by Liverpool last season, by the way - and Champions League continue to be the two elite competitions for English clubs. Advertisement Perhaps fans are suffering from football fatigue, or perhaps it's because of the kickoff times, but whichever way you look at it — this has not been the tournament that Gianni Infantino was clearly hoping it would be. Even the manager of one of the best teams in the world, Pep Guardiola, admitted that the winner will likely be forgotten fairly quickly. READ MORE: Rio Ferdinand's Premier League prediction says everything about Arne Slot's Liverpool READ MORE: Liverpool chairman reveals how close Florian Wirtz transfer came to collapsing - 'There was a point' 'Well, now we're here, we want to do well. I don't know," Guardiola said when asked how invested he is in winning the Club World Cup. 'Maybe after two or three days at the end of the tournament it'll be forgotten.' Advertisement The tournament's main appeal, clearly, is the lucrative prize money on offer, with a total of $1 billion on offer. City has already made a whopping $51 million, comprised mainly of a substantial appearance fee, as well as $2 million for each group-stage win, over Wydad, Al Ain, and Juventus. Those wins secured City's place in the last 16 of the competition, and qualification for the last 16 was enough to secure another $7.5 million in prize money. If Guardiola's men go on to win the competition, the club will bank another $32.5 million, taking the club's winnings to more than $80 million. Advertisement That is all well and good from a financial perspective, but the tournament is far from ideal preparation for the 2025-26 Premier League season. City is coming off the back of its worst season in almost a decade, and storming around dodgy astroturf fields in sweltering heat is unlikely to get the players in prime shape to reclaim their crown from Liverpool. Meanwhile, Liverpool's players are deep into their summer vacations as Mohamed Salah and Co enjoy some rest and relaxation ahead of their title defense. Mohamed Salah doesn't seem too fussed about missing out on the Club World Cup -Credit:X/@MoSalah Liverpool's pre-season gets under way on July 7 — six weeks on from the title parade — and that means that City's players could still be in Club World Cup action when the Reds play their first pre-season game. Advertisement The semi-finals of the Club World Cup take place on July 8 and July 9, with the final kicking off at 8pm BST on July 13 — five hours after Liverpool faces Preston in its pre-season opener at Deepdale. So, regardless of the lucrative sums that City is pulling in, there is no chance that Liverpool would choose to swap positions with its biggest rival right now.

Norris tops final practice for F1 Canadian GP ahead of Piastri
Lando Norris of the McLaren F1 Team drives during the final practice for the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix. Luca Barsali/LiveMedia-IPA/ZUMA Press Wire/dpa Lando Norris led an one-two for McLaren ahead of team-mate Oscar Piastri in the final practice for the Formula One Austrian Grand Prix on Saturday. It was a repetition of Friday's second practice result, with the Red Bull of Max Verstappen also completing the top three. Advertisement Ahead of qualifying later, Norris clocked 1 minute 04.324 seconds, 0.118s faster than championship leader Piastri. Verstappen was 0.210s off the pace. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were fourth and fifth for Ferrari, respectively, followed by the Mercedes cars of George Russell and Kimi Antonelli. Piastri tops the drivers' standings 22 points ahead of Norris. Tension between the two title contenders peaked at the Canadian Grand Prix two weeks ago when they collided with three laps left to the end of the race, with Norris braking too late and running into the back of the championship leader. Advertisement While Piastri finished the race in fourth, Norris couldn't cross the finish line and missed some crucial points. Verstappen, meanwhile, was second in Montreal and will try to be back on the top of the podium at Red Bull's home race in Austria, but needs to watch out as he's one penalty point away from a race ban.
