The 2026 Italian Grand Prix is set to take place at the iconic Monza circuit on Saturday, 27th September. For Indian fans eager to catch every lap, there are several reliable options to stream the race live, whether you prefer the local FanCode platform or international services like Apple TV.
Per PCMag, the most straightforward method is to use FanCode, the official streaming partner for Formula 1 in India. The platform offers a free 30‑minute trial that covers the start of the race, after which a subscription of ₹199 per month will grant you full access to the live broadcast, on‑demand replays, and exclusive commentary. FanCode’s interface is user‑friendly, with multiple audio tracks including Hindi commentary, making it a popular choice among Indian viewers.
Alternatively, USA Today notes that Apple TV users can stream the event through the F1 TV Pro subscription. While this option is more expensive—₹2,999 for a 30‑day pass—it provides a global feed with high‑definition video, real‑time telemetry, and the ability to switch between multiple camera angles. Apple TV users should ensure their device is updated to the latest iOS or tvOS version to avoid any playback issues.
For those who prefer a more traditional TV experience, the race will also be broadcast on Star Sports 1 and Star Sports 2 in India, with commentary in Hindi, English, and several regional languages. The live coverage starts at 5:00 PM IST, aligning with the local start time of 3:30 PM local time at Monza. Fans can tune in via cable or the Star Sports app, which offers a free 30‑minute preview before the full subscription kicks in.
In summary, whether you choose the free FanCode trial, the premium Apple TV stream, or the Star Sports broadcast, Indian fans have multiple ways to experience the Italian Grand Prix. Don’t miss the high‑octane action from Monza—set your alarms for 5:00 PM IST and enjoy the race from the comfort of your home.
