F1 TV Launches 4K Streams & Free Trial: Your Guide to Watching the 2025 Formula 1 Season Live

Fans of Formula 1 can finally stream every Grand Prix in true Ultra-High-Definition as F1 TV rolls out a Premium tier that offers native 4K UHD with HDR, a brand-new multiview interface, and enhanced data overlays—just in time for the second half of the 2025 season. What’s new in F1 TV Premium? • Native 4K UHD/HDR live feeds for every F1 session, plus F2, F3 and F1 Academy support races, giving up to four times the detail of the standard 1080p stream.<https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/f1-tv-launches-new-f1-tv-premium-subscription-tier.46ULoJHnve3zgO0pmiKzrF/> • Customisable multiview lets you pin up to four onboard cameras or timing screens alongside the world-feed so you never miss a midfield battle.<https://www.theverge.com/racing/627292/f1-tv-adds-4k-hdr-streams-and-a-new-multiview-feature-fo/> • Real-time telemetry and tyre-wear graphics are now overlaid directly on the live video instead of a separate tab, ideal for second-screen superfans. • Simultaneous log-ins on six devices—double the previous limit—so households can watch on the big screen and keep an eye on driver radios from a tablet. Price, availability and supported devices The Premium plan costs $129.99 per year (or $18.99 monthly) in the United States; pricing is localized in more than 100 territories. Android TV, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku, web browsers and the recently added Samsung Smart TV app all receive 4K streams at launch, while iOS and Android mobile apps remain capped at 1080p until a coming update. How to upgrade Existing F1 TV Pro subscribers can upgrade inside the app without losing recorded races or personalised watchlists. New users get a seven-day free trial; just make sure your device supports HDR10 or Dolby Vision to unlock the full colour range. Why 4K matters on race day At 300 km/h, extra resolution helps spot lock-ups, wing flex and track-limit infractions—the details that can decide a qualifying lap. HDR further widens contrast, making sparks from the under-floor plank pop during night races in Singapore and Las Vegas. Tips for the best experience 1. Hard-wire your streaming device or use Wi-Fi 6 to sustain F1 TV’s 25 Mbps 4K bitrate. 2. Toggle “single-view” during rain delays to lower bandwidth while keeping commentary. 3. On mobile data, switch down to 720p in Settings → Video Quality to save up to 80 % of your allowance. Looking ahead Formula 1’s broadcast team says Dolby Atmos spatial audio and an AI-driven “driver battle” auto-camera are in closed beta for 2026. For now, the leap to 4K UHD/HDR and multiview makes F1 TV Premium the sharpest way to follow every apex, pit stop and photo-finish in the world championship.
