Formula 1 is headed to Mexico City this weekend, marking one of the last races of the year. This season’s dominator, Max Verstappen, is the reigning victor at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. But all eyes will once again be on Mexican racer Sergio “Checo” Pérez, who is still chasing his first win on home soil.
If you’re looking to watch F1 Mexico online this weekend, read on. Below is a quick guide on how to stream the Mexican GP live without cable, including a couple of easy ways to watch the race for free.
How to Watch F1 Mexico Online Without Cable
F1 Mexico will be broadcast on cable and satellite TV on ESPN, but cord-cutters can watch the race online using a live TV streaming service or F1 TV. Here’s a further breakdown of your best options for streaming F1 Mexico this weekend:
1. Stream F1 Mexico on DirecTV Stream
DirecTV Stream is our favorite service for watching live sports without cable, and, because it carries ESPN, you’ll be able to use it to watch F1 races. New subscribers get a five-day free trial to start, and then you’ll have to pay $74.99 a month if you want to keep service after that.
2. Stream F1 Mexico on F1 TV
A more affordable way to stream F1 Mexico is to get a subscription to F1 TV Pro. This costs just $9.99 a month or $79.99 a year (after a seven-day free trial). Of course, F1 TV doesn’t get you all the other content that a live TV steamer does, but it’s a great option for serious F1 fans with in-depth timing data and replays available.
3. Stream F1 Mexico on fuboTV
Another great live TV streaming service is fuboTV, which also carries ESPN for F1 Mexico livestreams. fuboTV starts with a free trial, and then plans start at $74.99 a month after that.
Stream F1 Mexico for Free
Want to watch F1 Mexico for free? Be sure to take advantage of a free trial from DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, or F1 TV. Since F1 Mexico is only three days long, any of these free trials will last you through the weekend (and a few days beyond).
