TechRadar lists the Sprint on Saturday, October 10, at 10am BST / 5am ET. Qualifying is scheduled for Saturday at 2pm BST / 9am ET, and the Singapore Grand Prix is set for Sunday, October 11, at 1pm BST / 8am ET. Practice One and Sprint Qualifying are scheduled for Friday, October 9.

The race is not available free in every country. TechRadar reports free live broadcasts in Austria on ORF On, Belgium on RTBF Auvio and Luxembourg on RTL Play. Free highlights are available in Australia on 10Play, Canada on CTV and the UK on Channel 4. In the US, Apple TV offers a free trial and free live broadcasts of every Practice session, TechRadar says.

For paid coverage in the US, Apple TV will show the Singapore Grand Prix, with F1 TV bundled into an Apple TV subscription at no additional cost. Subscriptions start at $14.99 per month or $119 per year, and new Apple TV subscribers get a seven-day free trial, according to TechRadar.

In the UK, Sky Sports F1 carries live coverage of the entire F1 season, including the Singapore Grand Prix. Sky Sports packages start from £22 per month, while Now Sports passes start at £14.99 with monthly options from £27.99. Australian fans can use Fox Sports via Kayo, which offers a free trial, full HD coverage and multi-screen viewing. Kayo's Standard plan starts at AU$29.99 per month, with a first-month price of AU$9.99. Canada's TSN shows the F1 season, and TSN Plus costs $24.99 per month for full access, with the TSN app allowing live streaming of practice, qualifying and the race.

TechRadar advises viewers traveling abroad during the race to use a VPN to access their domestic streaming service if doing so does not infringe any terms and conditions. It names NordVPN as its top choice and cites a 30-day money-back guarantee. The publication says not having a VPN is like leaving a front door open in a busy city, and it offers three extra months free with NordVPN.

Red Bull enters the weekend with a car that finally looks competitive after Max Verstappen's first win of the season last week, according to TechRadar. Mercedes can win the Constructors' Championship if results go its way, while Ferrari looks capable of competing if things fall its way. In 2025, George Russell converted pole position into victory to give Mercedes its second and final win of that season. TechRadar's preview says Russell could be forced to start from the back this time if a Sepang failure leads Mercedes to fit another power unit before its planned upgrade later in the season.

TechRadar details the schedule and a mix of free and paid streaming options across several countries, along with VPN advice for travelers.
