Here's how you can watch F1 live streaming in India, F1 fans in India don't need to buy F1 TV Pro

One of the biggest worries of Indian fans of Formula 1 was watching their beloved racers on television. During the 2023 season, F1 decided not to broadcast the races in India on any channel but to stream it on their own streaming channel F1 TV Pro. It resulted in a drop in viewership of F1 in India. It became a huge issue for racing fans in India but now that issue has been solved., 

F1 will now be live-streamed exclusively on Fancode for the 2024 season, starting from Bahrain GP. As compared to F1 TV Pro which is available at Rs 2,499 annually or Rs 299 monthly, F1 will be available on FanCode for a yearly price of just Rs 599. Users can also buy passes for individual races, which is priced at around Rs 49 for each race. 

'Formula 1 has today announced a new two-year (2024 and 2025 seasons) agreement with FanCode that sees the leading sports streaming platform become the exclusive broadcast partner to Formula 1 in India until the end of the 2025 season," F1 said in a statement. 

“The agreement grants FanCode exclusive rights to broadcast all F1 race weekends, including all practice and qualifying sessions, F1 Sprint events and Grands Prix. FanCode will use its best-in-class technical capabilities to offer fans a premium viewing experience by allowing them to follow every minute of the record-breaking 24-race season on their phone, tablet, and smart TV, starting with the FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2024 on 2 March 2024,” F1 said. 

“There is a growing appetite for Formula 1 in India, particularly amongst younger and female supporters. Nearly 60 million fans follow the sport and 1 in 2 started following F1 in the last four years. This partnership allows Formula 1 to tap into a rapidly emerging fanbase and invites FanCode’s audience of nearly 100 million passionate sports fans into the world of F1,” it continued to say.
