Formula 1 is set to host the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in Baku this weekend as the 15th race of the 2026 season. The race has been moved to Saturday, September 26, at 13:00 French time, instead of the usual Sunday, due to a military commemoration day in Azerbaijan on September 27. As a result, the entire race weekend has been shifted forward by one day. Free practice sessions will begin on Thursday, September 24, with the first session starting at 10:30 and the second at 14:00. Free Practice 3 is scheduled for Friday, September 25, at 10:30, followed by qualifying sessions at 14:00. The race itself will take place on Saturday at 13:00. In France, the Canal+ group holds all the broadcasting rights for Formula 1, including the 2026 season. Free practice and qualifying sessions will be shown on Canal+ Sport, while the Saturday race will air on Canal+. Viewers in France have several options to watch the entire weekend, including a standard Canal+ subscription that includes Canal+ Sport in sports packages, the myCANAL app, or dedicated F1 offers from Canal+ starting at 19.99€ per month. Belgian viewers can watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for free through RTBF, which broadcasts the race simultaneously with Canal+. The race can be viewed on Tipik, the generalist channel of the RTBF group, or via the Auvio streaming platform, without any additional cost. This option is available to Belgian residents who are physically in Belgium at the time of the broadcast, as Auvio restricts access based on geographic location. For Belgian residents traveling abroad during the Grand Prix, a virtual private network (VPN) like CyberGhost can help regain access to Auvio by simulating a connection from Belgium. This allows users to watch the live broadcast as if they were at home, without changing their subscription or status. This method is not exclusive to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, as similar logic applies to accessing other regional services while traveling. To follow the entire Azerbaijan Grand Prix, French viewers should rely on Canal+ and Canal+ Sport for full access to all sessions and the Saturday race. Belgian residents can watch the race for free via RTBF and Auvio, using a VPN if they are outside Belgium. It is advisable to check the available options beforehand to ensure viewers do not miss the start of the race.
