How to watch F1 75 Live in the US

American sports network ESPN holds the exclusive US rights for F1 races and, as such, you'll be able to catch F1 75 Live as long as you have an ESPN subscription.

If you don't have cable, Sling TV is the best option.

Sling Orange ($46/month) gets you ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN 3. Sling Blue (from $46/month) gets you NBC, ABC and Fox affiliates (in select markets). Or, you can combine them both. The Sling Orange + Blue plan with Sports Extra add-on ($66/month).

A slightly more expensive alternative is Fubo, which includes all of the above channels, plus CBS and CBS Network, for the price of $79.99 a month. New users get a 7-day free trial.

Whichever option you choose, you'll be able to catch F1 75 Live at 3pm EST and 12 noon PST on February 18, 2025.

Away from the US? Use a VPN to watch Sling or Fubo from anywhere.
