Canadian Grand Prix live stream: how to watch F1 online from anywhere

Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc battle off the line on an F1 live stream

Canadian Grand Prix live stream

The 2023 Canadian Grand Prix is available to watch for free on Servus in Austria. Use a VPN to watch your local stream from anywhere. A complete breakdown of free Canada GP live streams is listed below.

Canadian GP: race preview

After a week off, the teams are returning to the paddock in Montreal to battle it out at the iconic Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in hopes of victory at the 2023 Canadian Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen will be looking to maintain his barnstorming season in his Red Bull, and safe bettors will stick with the Dutchman. However, with plenty of rain forecast over the weekend, veterans Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso will no doubt see this as an opportunity to snatch points away from the Austrian fizzy pop purveyors.

What's more, after a Mercedes 2-3 in Miami, topping the podium is beginning to look like a slight possibility for Toto and co., with Aston Martin's new-found speed now being matched by the Silver Arrows after the huge design update debuted at Monaco.

Off-track, we've heard rumours of drama in the Ferrari camp, with Charles Leclerc reportedly being unsatisfied with the team's performance—perhaps not a huge surprise. Lewis Hamilton's contract extension at Mercedes has scuppered any speculation that the Monegasque would join Russell next season, though, so for now he'll have to make do.

Watch a free Canadian Grand Prix live stream

There are a number of ways to watch the Canadian Grand Prix for free this weekend – and if you've got an antenna or relevant cable subscription, you'll be able to catch the race for FREE on ABC. We can't be certain that the race will also be live streamed for free on the ABC website, but we'll update this section if and when we get confirmation.

Like every other weekend, in Austria all the races are shared between free-to-air broadcasters Servus TV and ORF (this weekend it's Servus). Take a look and find out what's available where you are:

If you're out of the country you'll need to use a VPN to access your preferred Canadian Grand Prix free live stream, as explained below. We rate ExpressVPN as the best provider out there, as it has a great track record for unblocking geo-restricted streams.


How to watch the Canadian Grand Prix live stream from outside your country

If you're abroad for this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix, you'll likely find you're unable to access your usual Formula 1 coverage like you would at home. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking – best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.

Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you whizz around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred F1 live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use – allow us to explain more.
