No home race, no free-to-air TV — but watching every session is easier (and cheaper) than you'd think.
The short answer: FanCode
Formula 1 in India is exclusive to FanCode (the Dream Sports streaming service) under a multi-year deal that runs through at least the 2028 season. It carries every session — practice, qualifying, sprints and the Grand Prix. The premium F1 TV Pro onboard/telemetry experience is also offered in India via FanCode.
What about TV?
There is no live F1 on Indian television in 2026. The old Star Sports broadcast ended after the 2022 season; the sport is streaming-only here now.
What it costs
- Single race-weekend pass: from around ₹49.
- Annual FanCode Pass: around ₹1,499, covering the full season (and other sports on the platform) — the best value for a season-long fan.
Prices change seasonally — always confirm the current tiers on FanCode before you buy. There is no legal free live stream of F1 in India.
