How to watch the F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025: Weekend schedule, channels & more

Everyone deserves some time off, but F1 fans all over the globe have been going stir crazy waiting for the summer break to come to an end. Three weeks without a grand prix to watch is tough at the best of times, but it’s even more torturous this season, as it’s been one of the most exhilarating and gripping campaigns of recent times. 

For motorsport fans, catching the exhilarating Dutch Grand Prix is a must. With live streaming options becoming more accessible, viewers also have the opportunity to engage with the race in new ways through betting. In India, accessing the best betting apps can add an extra thrill to following F1 action. These apps are optimized for the local market, offering competitive odds and a variety of motorsport-specific betting markets.

Thankfully, the future’s bright, the future’s orange, as the lights go green once again at the Dutch GP in Zandvoort on August 31. You can catch every single second of all sessions live, starting with the 1st practice on Friday, August 29. When we last entered the wondrous world of F1 at the start of August, Lando Norris was standing on top of the podium spraying champers at the Hungaroring. He was celebrating a third victory in the space of four races, which saw him cut Oscar Piastri’s lead at the top of the drivers’ standings to 9 points. 

It continues to be an outstanding season for McLaren, which has won 11 of the 14 rounds so far in 2025. Piastri and Norris have finished 1st and 2nd in half of the races and are currently on a four consecutive team 1-2s in the most recent races. The Woking-based outfit is now almost 300 points clear in the Constructors’ Championship.

Lando Norris goes in search of some double Dutch delight after claiming the honours in the Netherlands twelve months ago. He cruised to victory by 22 seconds from Max Verstappen, who was attempting to secure a fourth straight success on his home track. It’s been a tough season for the 4-time reigning F1 champion and Dutch legend, who has only recorded five podium finishes so far in 2025.

He’s guaranteed a fervent backing as per usual, though at the Circuit Zandvoort and would love to give the Red Bull hoards something to cheer about. One more race win will see Verstappen go joint-top with Jim Clark on the all-time honours board. The British driver won the Dutch GP four times during the 1960s.

Let GOAL give you all the important information you need ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix, including the full weekend schedule of events and how you can watch and stream all the action live.

 Where is the F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025 held?

 Circuit ZandvoortGetty Images

The Dutch Grand Prix was first held in 1950 at the Circuit Zandvoort, which is located close to the North Sea beach resort of Zandvoort. Aside from a few years, when it was cancelled due to various reasons, it was staged annually until 1985, when the company that ran the circuit (CENAV) went out of business. After a 35-year hiatus, the event returned to the F1 race calendar in 2021. The Grand Prix has been a part of the F1 World Championship schedule since 1952, and was designated the European Grand Prix twice (1962 & 1976). The Dutch Grand Prix is contracted to be held at Zandvoort until 2026, after which it will no longer be part of the F1 schedule, as the local promoter decided not to seek a contract extension.

Can I watch the F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025 on F1 TV?

F1 TV is the over-the-top streaming package operated by Formula One Management (FOM), the provider of the world feed for F1 broadcasts throughout each season. The service offers commercial-free coverage of all races as part of a single package. Due to rights deals, F1 TV is limited to the countries it is allowed to operate. 

The service is not available in the United Kingdom, meaning fans hoping to use it would need a VPN to access it and watch the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix. However, you can still purchase F1 TV in the UK to access bonus content, such as live timing, map and leaderboard features, as well as access to team radios and other statistics. You can also view pre- and post-race shows with in-depth analysis and behind-the-scenes facts.

The service is available for residents in the United States, though. F1 TV offers two plans (F1 TV Access and F1 TV Pro), but you’ll want F1 TV Pro to get all the live content. The plan costs $10.99 per month or $84.99 per year. Additional perks include onboard camera views, live tracking data, and team radio feeds, and you can switch between channels for different race action and commentary in other languages. The F1 TV app is available on popular streaming devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast with Google TV, and Roku, as well as Android and iOS mobile devices.

Can I watch the F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025 on demand?

UK viewers who have a Sky Sports F1 subscription can watch a re-run of the 2025 Dutch Grand Prix on demand after the race has finished through the channel’s digital and online options. The Sky Go app, for mobile devices and personal tablets, will allow viewers to watch the race in full, while those with a Sky+ subscription will also be able to record the race and catch it retroactively. Additionally, those with NOW TV will be able to effectively draw upon the Sky Sports F1 coverage, too, though their ability to access on-demand replay broadcasts will be limited due to the nature of the package.

For US viewers, if you have an ESPN or F1 TV subscription, you can watch a re-run of the Dutch Grand Prix on demand after the race has finished through the channel's digital and online options. For mobile devices and personal tablets, the ESPN app will allow viewers to watch back the race in full, allowing fans to revisit the event in total or bite-sized highlights packages. Likewise, the F1 TV service allows subscribers to enjoy full replays of every race during the 2025 Formula One season.

How to watch the F1 Dutch Grand Prix 2025 from anywhere with a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the Dutch Grand Prix locally, you may need a different way to watch the race. That's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on race day, by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're travelling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to race action. Most VPNs, like NordVPN, make it easy to do this.

We highly recommend using NordVPN, but you can also check out our detailed VPN guide for other options.

Frequently asked questions

The first Dutch Grand Prix was held in 1950, at the Circuit Zandvoort, but it wouldn’t become part of the F1 World Championship schedule until 1952. The first official F1 Dutch Grand Prix would be won by Ferrari's Alberto Ascari and he would claim back-to-back successes in 1953. Aside from a few years, when it was cancelled due to various reasons, it was staged annually until 1985, when the company that ran the circuit (CENAV) went out of business. After a 35-year hiatus, the event returned to the F1 race calendar in 2021. The Dutch Grand Prix is contracted to be held at Zandvoort until 2026, after which it will no longer be part of the F1 schedule, as the local promoter decided not to seek a contract extension.

McLaren has been the dominant force during the 2025 campaign and they are fancied to claim a 5th successive team 1-2. Lando Norris won at Zandvoort last year and recent form gives him the slight nod over the current drivers’ championship leader and McLaren teammate, Oscar Piastri. However, the Dutch crowd will be jumping for joy if Max Verstappen can rediscover some of his old magic in the Red Bull to claim a fourth Dutch GP triumph.

The next race on the 2025 Formula One season schedule after the Dutch Grand Prix is the Italian Grand Prix (September 7) from the famous Monza Circuit. Charles Leclerc was the hero last year as he took the race win in his Ferrari. Although he also won in the red machine in 2019, Ferrari successes have been few and far between since the heady days when Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello paired up for the ‘Prancing Horse' posse.
