In this post, I will show you how to stream Formula 1 on FireStick, FireStick 4K, FireStick 4K Max, FireStick Lite, Android, iPhone, Roku, Android TV, Apple TV, Xbox, PlayStation, and Fire TV without cable. I will go over free, paid, and cheaper ways to stream the live-action, regardless of your location. Make sure to read the entire post to learn everything.

The 2024 Formula 1 is shaping to be another year for Red Bull. Max Verstappen has won three F1 championships, leading the table after the Saudi Arabian GP. Although the pre-season revealed interesting things, Red Bull is still the team to beat in 2024. Red Bull has performed as expected, and it will be interesting to see Alonso of Aston Martin and Hamilton of Mercedes catch up to Max in the upcoming races. Here’s how you can watch Formula 1 on FireStick without cable.

I will keep the post focused on FireStick only. The official apps are available on all smart devices, and the unofficial ones are limited to Fire TV only.

F1 2024 Racing Schedule

The Formula One World Championship is the toughest class of racing cars. The first game went live on March 2 in Bahrain. With the Russian GP out of the way, we have 24 races to look forward to in 2024. As expected, the 2024 schedule will end with the Abu Dhabi GP on 8 December.

For the first time in history, F1 has started the new season with an identical drive lineup that finished the previous season. Red Bull has dominated the F1 in the last few years. It will also be the last season for Lewis Hamilton at Mercedes before he moves to Ferrari in 2025.

Attention FireStick Users

Governments and ISPs across the world monitor their users' online activities. If you use third-party streaming apps on your Fire TV Stick, you should always use a good FireStick VPN and hide your identity so your movie-viewing experience doesn’t take a bad turn. Currently, your IP is visible to everyone.

I use ExpressVPN, the fastest and most secure VPN in the industry. It is very easy to install on any device, including Amazon Fire TV Stick. Also, it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you don't like their service, you can always ask for a refund. ExpressVPN also has a special deal where you can get 4 months free and save 61% on the 2-year plan.

Here is why you must use a VPN all the time.

F1 Streaming Rights

In the US, ESPN has the official rights to stream all the F1 matches. Their contract expired in 2019, and the Disney-owned company extended the coverage.

ESPN will be the sole provider to air Formula 1 matches in the US until 2022. After the grand success of the Drive to Survive series, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has shown interest in acquiring rights for the next F1 season. Cable users can add ESPN channels to their existing package and call it a day. As for streaming on FireStick, you have half a dozen options to watch ESPN channels on FireStick without cable.

Watch F1 on FireStick (Official Apps)

Now that you know the official media partner for F1 racing in the US, you may know what we are looking for on FireStick.

We will list streaming apps that carry ESPN channels in their catalog. Most streaming providers do, and this is where it might get confusing for you.

I will mention five options below. Which one is perfect for you? It all depends on your preferences, watching habits, and the purpose for which you want to subscribe to the streaming service.

Don’t worry, though. It’s not that difficult to choose among them. I will mention each service’s USP (Unique Selling Point) to clarify confusion.

That said, these services are limited in the US region. However, if you want to access them from another country, you can easily use ExpressVPN on FireStick.

ExpressVPN offers a reliable connection, blocks blackouts, and offers F1 streaming regardless of your current location.

I have covered the step-by-step process to live stream this event completely free. So read the complete guide if that is something you are looking for.

Watch F1 on FireStick in the US

One reason for ESPN’s aggressive push in sports streaming is ESPN+. Disney wants to project ESPN+ as the go-to streaming choice for all sports needs in the US.

1. ESPN+

ESPN+ is a must-have for sports fans in the US. The Disney-owned service offers extensive sports coverage and shows no signs of slowing down. The service is available on multiple mobile, desktop, and TV platforms.

Live TV channels: No
Movies and TV shows: Ideal for sports content only
Free trial: No
Price: $10.99 per month
Number of simultaneous streams: 3

The USP of ESPN+ remains its wide range of sports content for $9.99 per month. It includes UFC, Football leagues, NHL, NFL, Tennis, and, of course, F1.

2. F1 TV

Most streaming services are expensive but offer on-demand content, live TV channels, other sports events, and more. If you are a die-hard Formula One fan and only want to watch all the races throughout the season, go with F1 TV. It’s an official offering from F1 and offers two plans.

The F1 TV Access plan is priced at $29.99 per year or $3.49 monthly. However, it doesn’t offer live race action. You can get F1 live timing data and delayed race replays. For live F1 streaming, upgrade to the F1 TV Pro plan at $10.99 per month or $84.99 per year.

Apart from watching F1 live, you can choose to ride with any driver by swapping onboard cameras and even listening to the head team radio live.

2. Sling TV

Compared to ESPN+, Sling TV might sound expensive to watch F1 matches. But dig deeper, and you will see how Sling TV wants to replace your cable operator with over 50 live TV channels.

Live TV channels: 41 channels in the Sling Orange plan, 46 in the Orange & Blue
Movies and TV shows: Yes, via live TV channels. No dedicated catalog
Free trial: No
Price: $30 for the Sling Orange and $45 for the Orange & Blue plan for the first month
DVR storage: 50 hours
Number of simultaneous streams: 1 in the Orange plan and 3 in the Blue and Orange & Blue plan

When it comes to offering live TV channels, Sling TV remains one of the least expensive options of the bunch.

3. YouTube TV

With over 3 million subscribers, YouTube TV remains the second-largest streaming service in the US. Google has struck a deal with various media giants to bring popular sports channels such as NBC Sports, NFL RedZone, ESPN, and more to the platform.

Live TV channels: 100+ channels
Movies and TV shows: No, ideal for live TV channels only
Free trial: Yes, 10-day
Price: $64.99 per month for the first three months, $72.99 for the fourth month
DVR storage: Unlimited
Number of simultaneous streams: 3

YouTube TV is ideal for those valuing streaming quality over everything else. Google has nailed the streaming experience here.

4. Hulu + Live TV

Hulu directly competes with YouTube TV. The company’s starter plan is average. But with Disney+ and ESPN+ addons in the higher plan, it beats the competition in style to watch F1 and tons of other content on FireStick without cable.

Live TV channels: 90+ channels
Movies and TV shows: Yes, via Disney+ and Hulu originals
Free trial: No
Price: $64.99 per month for Hulu Live TV, $72.99 per month with Disney+ and ESPN+ addons
DVR storage: Unlimited hours
Number of simultaneous streams: 2, unlimited streams for $9.99 per month

Hulu should be the preferred choice for those living in a family with kids. You can have ESPN+, and kids can enjoy Disney shows through the Disney+ subscription.

fuboTV offers over 200+ live TV channels, including the ESPN ones, to stream Formula 1 races on FireStick without cable. Although on the higher side (with pricing), the service does offer a 7-day free trial to check out the catalog.

How to Watch F1 Races on FireStick for Free

When you compete in a crowded US streaming market, you must offer more reasons for people to use your streaming service over others. Most streaming providers offer a free trial to onboard new subscribers.

As a newbie in a cord-cutter community, you can start the free trial with various services and enjoy a few F1 matches for free on FireStick without cable.

You can start your free trial journey with fuboTV and view a single F1 match for free on the weekends. Now, move to YouTube TV and enjoy a couple more matches for free on FireStick.

Try to sign up on Thursday or Friday to catch the pole position race and the main race on the weekend. While you are at it, don’t forget to cancel the free trial.

The F1 series goes on throughout the year in different countries. These free trials won’t be sufficient for you. Here are the unofficial alternative ways to watch F1 on FireStick for free.

Since the FireStick runs on Android-based FireOS, it’s easy to sideload apps that aren’t officially available from the Amazon App Store.

Third-party streaming apps, IPTV providers, and Kodi addons can be easily installed and used to watch F1 matches on FireStick.

However, be careful when using these apps excessively. Unusual traffic from these apps and services might trigger your ISP provider and the government, which can also lead to legal troubles.

I would advise going with ExpressVPN on FireStick so you can watch all the F1 matches without worry.

Here’s how to get started with a VPN on FireStick before you begin installing free apps.

Highly recommended if streaming with free or low-cost services 👇

How to Stream on FireStick Anonymously

As soon as you install the right apps, your FireStick is all ready to stream your favorite content.

This means, streaming free movies, TV shows, Sports might get you into legal trouble.

Thankfully, there is a foolproof way to keep all your streaming activities hidden from your ISP and the Government. All you need is a good VPN for Fire Stick. A VPN will mask your original IP which is and will help you bypass Online Surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.

I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, which is the fastest and most secure VPN. It is compatible with all kinds of streaming apps and is very easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.

We do not encourage the violation of copyright laws. But, what if you end up streaming content from an illegitimate source unintentionally? It is not always easy to tell the difference between a legit and illegal source.

IPTV Providers

FireStick users must be familiar with the IPTV services on FireStick. Internet-based providers allow subscribers to stream hundreds of TV channels, movies, and TV shows for a small monthly fee.

I have curated a list of the best IPTV services for FireStick. Go through them and integrate your preferred IPTV service on an IPTV player such as Flix IPTV or TiviMate on FireStick.

Don’t forget to connect to ExpressVPN. FireStickTricks can’t confirm the legal license of all the content offered by these IPTV providers. It’s best to protect yourself with a VPN service on FireStick.

Third-Party Apps and Kodi Addons

Do you want to watch every F1 race for free on FireStick? You can go with third-party streaming apps or integrate sports Kodi addons with the Kodi app on FireStick.

Kodi remains my favorite unofficial app on FireStick. With a capable Kodi addon, you can easily watch F1 and other sports leagues on FireStick without paying a dime.

Once again, let me remind you to go with ExpressVPN because we can’t confirm the authenticity of the content on these apps.

Sports Streaming Websites

Free sports streaming websites also offer live action from the race tracks on Sunday.

You can use them with the Amazon Silk Browser on FireStick. A word of caution, though. Don’t add any personal or card details on these websites. They are filled with ads and third-party trackers.

Wrapping Up

I’m rooting for Max to win the 2023 season, too. Can Hamilton win another championship under Mercedes? Or can Carlos Sainz have a tough time on track to Max and Perez? It looks highly unlikely. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
