We’re circling Spielberg as the 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live streams are within days. And since this race is almost here, we wonder if there’s any way that it will end like last year’s race.
You’ll be able to watch the race play out online, so read on and we’ll show you how to watch F1 live streams from anywhere with a VPN, potentially for FREE.
2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream: How to watch live online
The 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix starts at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. BST on Sunday (July 2) / 12 a.m. AEDT on Monday (July 3).
• FREE LIVE STREAM — ORF (Austria) / RTL Zwee (Lux)

• Watch anywhere — Try ExpressVPN 100% risk free
In 2022, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc won the Austrian GP, a victory that is in stark contrast with much of the 2023 season. He’s only stood on one podium so far this season, placing third at Azerbaijan.
That said, Leclerc’s told the press that there’s hope at Ferrari, as “The feeling with the car was better than in the first part of the season.” This is similar to what’s going on at Mercedes, which became more competitive in the last few races, with Lewis Hamilton standing on the last two podiums.
Elsewhere this season, it’s been the year of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, and so a race at the team’s home track of the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Styria, Austria feels like the odds will be more against Leclerc and the field than ever.
Oh, and this is a GP with a Sprint and Sprint Shootout. That means we’ll get the starting grid on Friday from the early qualifying, and points will fly a little earlier than usual, on Saturday. The top eight finishers in the Sprint get points, with the winner taking eight, second place with seven points and so on down the line down to eighth place getting a single point.
The full schedule is below, and lights are out at the Austrian Grand Prix at 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. BST on Sunday (July 2) / 12 a.m. AEDT on Monday (July 3). Make sure you don’t miss a second of it by watching a Austrian Grand Prix live stream — potentially for FREE.

FREE Austrian Grand Prix live streams
How to watch the 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream for FREE
If you’re lucky enough to live in Austria or Luxembourg then you can enjoy every second of the F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream for FREE. And this is one of the weekends where Americans can watch for free too.
That’s because the free-to-air RTL Zwee in Luxembourg will be showing every session of the Grand Prix, as will ORF in Austria. As will ABC, which you may get over-the-air via one of the best TV antennas.
But what if you’re usually based in one of those countries but aren’t at home for the Austrian Grand Prix live stream? Maybe you’re on holiday and don’t want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you’d usually be able to watch for free at home?
Don’t worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We’ll show you how to do that below.
Our favorite VPN service right now is ExpressVPN, but you’ll find others in our best VPN services list.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you’re in the U.S. and want to view an Austrian service, you’d select Austria from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to ORF or another website and watch the race.
2023 Austrian Grand Prix live streams around the world
How to watch the F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream in the US
As with many of the F1 races this season, the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix live stream will be shown on ESPN. Coverage will be spread across ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN3 and ESPNEWS, with the race itself on ESPN and ESPN Plus.
There are several ways you can access ESPN — and two of them are among our picks for the best streaming services. ESPN, also, can be pulled down with one of the best TV antennas.
ESPN is available through most cable packages as well as cable TV replacement services, including Sling TV, Fubo.TV, YouTube TV and Hulu with Live TV.
ESPN is on Sling Orange and Fubo. As well as being available through your cable service, you can also stream the race via the ESPN app, or on the Watch section of ESPN’s website. However, you’ll need to authenticate with your satellite, cable or live TV provider credentials to watch any sessions.
If you don’t want to pay for live ESPN in some fashion or another, your best alternative is F1 TV Pro. This is F1’s own official F1 live stream service, and as with ESPN’s own coverage, it uses the feed from Sky Sports F1.
F1 TV Pro costs $10 per month or $80 for the season, which is much better value considering there are 23 races this year. Plus you also get Formula 2, Formula 3 and Porsche Supercup races, and F1’s archive of classic Grands Prix.
And remember, if you’re usually based in the U.S. but aren’t there at the moment, you can still watch the services you already subscribe to via a VPN such as ExpressVPN — meaning you can view the F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream from anywhere in the world.
How to watch the 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream in the UK
As usual, Sky Sports F1 will show the 2023 Austrian Grand Prix live stream, and in up to 4K resolution.
You’ll need to be a Sky Sports subscriber to watch the F1 live streams: the Sky Sports F1 channel is available for £15 per month (Sky Q is required), and there are packages available that give you lots more channels for only a bit extra.
To follow it in ultra high-definition 4K, you’ll need to pay a little more: you’ll need a Sky Q set-top box or Sky Glass and a package that includes both Ultra HD and Sky Sports F1. In total, that’d come to at least £45 a month, plus a £20 one-off payment if you’re not an existing subscriber.
A far cheaper option is to buy a Now Sports Pass. For all 11 Sky Sports channels, you’ll want the £33.99 package for one month. There’s no 4K available here, though.
Again, if you’re usually based in the U.K. but are elsewhere at the moment, you can still watch the services you subscribe to by using one of the best VPN services.
How to watch the 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream in Canada
TSN has the Austrian Grand Prix live stream in Canada in English on TSN4, while RDS has coverage in French. F1 TV Pro also remains an option for fans.
All sessions are broadcast on TSN, and if you receive the network through your cable or satellite provider, you can use TSN Go by signing in with your TV service credentials. Cord-cutters will want to check out TSN Direct, which comes in day- and month-long passes for $8 or $20 CAD, respectively. The TSN app will allow you to live stream the race from your phone, streaming box or supported device.
Not actually in Canada at the moment? ExpressVPN and other VPN services can help you access the services you already subscribe to.
How to watch the 2023 F1 Austrian Grand Prix live stream in Australia
Fox Sports has the rights to the Austrian Grand Prix live stream in Australia, which means you can watch all the action online via Foxtel.
Kayo Sports is another option. This service offers new subscribers a 14-day free trial, while one-month subscriptions start at $25.
You can also use one of the best VPN services to follow the action from your home country even when you’re elsewhere.
