Austin Grand Prix Set for 23‑24 March: Full Schedule and How to Watch in India

After the electrifying night race at Singapore, the 2025 Formula 1 calendar moves to the United States for the first time since 2019. The next race on the calendar is the Grand Prix of Austin, which will take place on the weekend of 23‑24 March at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA). According to the official Formula 1 website, the event will begin with a practice session on Friday, 23 March, followed by a second practice and a final practice on Saturday, 24 March. The qualifying session will be held on the same day, with the race itself scheduled for Sunday, 25 March.

For fans in India, the race will be available on FanCode, the official streaming partner for Formula 1 in the country. The live coverage will start at 12:00 IST on Sunday, 25 March, giving you a full day of action from the start of practice to the finish line. The platform offers a comprehensive package that includes live commentary, multiple camera angles, and real‑time telemetry data, making it a great choice for both casual viewers and hardcore enthusiasts.

While the Austin track is known for its high-speed straights and challenging technical sections, the 2025 calendar has already announced that the circuit will feature a new layout that shortens the lap distance by 0.2 km, aiming to increase overtaking opportunities. Teams are already preparing for the unique demands of the track, which includes a long straight that can reach speeds over 350 km/h, followed by a tight hairpin that tests braking performance.

For India, the Austin Grand Prix is a timely reminder that Formula 1 is expanding its global footprint.
