WaveQuick answer
No, F1 TV Pro isn't available in the UK. Sky Sports has exclusive live F1 rights, and in May 2026 it extended them to the end of the 2034 season. UK fans can buy F1 TV Access (live timing and replays, no live video). To watch races live, you need Sky Sports F1 via Sky or NOW.

|---|---|---|---|
| F1 TV Pro | Yes | – | No |
| F1 TV Access | No (live timing, replays) | around £2.29/month or £19.99/year | Yes |

Why no F1 TV Pro? Formula 1 only sells F1 TV Pro where it doesn't clash with an exclusive TV deal. Sky's deal covers every practice, qualifying, sprint and race live in the UK and Ireland, so the live part of F1 TV is blocked here. F1 TV Access is still useful as a second screen: race on Sky or NOW, live timing and driver data on your phone. Prices can change, so check f1tv.formula1.com before subscribing.
