The 2026 Mexican Grand Prix, scheduled for 26th October, is set to be a thrilling addition to the Formula 1 calendar. For Indian fans eager to catch every lap, several reliable streaming options are available, ensuring you can follow the action from the comfort of your home.

Per Formula 1 Now, the official F1 app remains the most comprehensive source for live coverage. Subscribers can stream the race in high definition, access real‑time telemetry, and enjoy exclusive commentary. The app is available on iOS, Android, and smart TVs, and offers a free trial for new users. For those who prefer a more traditional broadcast, the race will also be televised on Star Sports 1, which provides a 1.5‑hour delay to accommodate the 5:30 PM (IST) start time of the event.

Another convenient option is FanCode, the local streaming platform that has secured rights to broadcast Formula 1 races in India. Fans can purchase a one‑day pass for the Mexican GP, which includes live commentary in Hindi and English. FanCode streams on multiple devices, from smartphones to smart TVs, and offers a 30‑minute free preview to test the service before the race.

For those who want to avoid subscription fees, the race will also be available on the official Formula 1 website via a temporary free stream for a limited window around the start time. However, this option is less reliable for uninterrupted viewing, as it may be interrupted by advertisements or bandwidth limits.

In summary, Indian viewers have several solid choices: the F1 app for a premium, data‑rich experience; Star Sports 1 for traditional TV coverage; FanCode for a localized, affordable stream; and a short free window on the F1 website. All options ensure you won’t miss the high‑octane action at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. Remember to check your local time zone and set your devices for a 5:30 PM IST start to stay on schedule.
