Catch the Belgian Grand Prix Live: When & Where to Stream Spa‑Francorchamps

Everything you need to know to watch the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix

The 2026 Belgian Grand Prix rolls into Spa‑Francorchamps on July 19. Here’s a quick guide to start times, streaming platforms and a snapshot of the championship battle.

The sun’s rising over the Ardennes, the hills are already buzzing, and the 2026 Belgian Grand Prix is set to thunder around Spa‑Francorchamps this afternoon. If you’re wondering when the checkered flag will fall, the race kicks off at 3 p.m. CET – that’s 9 a.m. ET for folks on the U.S. East Coast, 6 a.m. PT on the West Coast, 2 p.m. BST in the UK, and a late‑night 11 p.m. AEST down under.

Championship‑wise, things are getting interesting. Mercedes youngster George Russell is trailing rookie sensation Kimi Antonelli by 25 points after a roller‑coaster British GP, where Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc took the win and Lewis Hamilton settled for third, leaving him 32 points back. Those points could swing dramatically once the rain‑slicks of Spa come into play.

So, where can you actually watch the action? In the United States, the new five‑year deal puts the race on Apple TV. If you snagged a brand‑new Apple device in the last three months, you might be eligible for a three‑month free trial – but don’t count on it unless the fine print says so.

Across the pond, UK viewers can tune in via Sky Sports or grab a streaming pass on NOW TV. Canadians have TSN Plus as their home for the race, while Aussies will need a Kayo Sports subscription (currently AU$25 a month). All of these services require a current subscription, and the details could shift after the article’s publication.

Bottom line: mark your calendars, check your streaming subscriptions, and get ready for a day of high‑speed drama in one of F1’s most iconic circuits. Whether you’re a hardcore fan or just popping in for the first lap, Spa‑Francorchamps never disappoints.
