Few sports capture the exhilaration of nations like Formula One. From blistering battles down the straight to canny moves in the corners, the biggest motorsport carnival in the world is back again for another thrilling season.
Last year's thrilling season ended with a maiden Championship win for Great Britain, Lando Norris. The 26-year-old beat rival Max Verstappen, and after the final race, Norris said: "I feel like I have just managed to win it the way I wanted to win it, which was not by being someone I'm not.
"Not trying to be as aggressive as Max [Verstappen] or as forceful as other champions might have been in the past – whatever it may be. My style of just trying to be a good person and a good team member."
Now, he'll be the one to beat as he looks to defend his title. The key question is, can he go back-to-back like the greats and mount a real challenge of dominance on the track?
So, if you want to catch up with all the action, let GOAL guide you through where to watch the 2024 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including practice, qualification, and race.

The 2026 F1 season starts in Melbourne for the Australia Grand Prix on 8th March. The teams will travel to the Albert Park circuit, where the race has been held every year since 1996, with the exceptions of 2020 and 2021. Before being staged at the Melbourne venue, the Australian Grand Prix was raced in Adelaide.
The Albert Park track, which consists of roads usually used by the public, is considered fast but relatively easy to drive, with the consistent placement of corners allowing the drivers to learn the circuit and achieve competitive times easily. The Australian Grand Prix regularly draws crowds of over 250,000 spectators, with last year's 2024 edition drawing a record high of over 450,000, with 130,000 attending the race day on Sunday. Albert Park is the only venue to host the Australian Grand Prix in both F1 World Championship and non-World Championship formats. An earlier configuration of the current circuit was used for the race twice during the 1950s.
🇺🇸 How to watch the Formula One 2026 season in the US
Watching every Sunday race throughout the F1 season requires ESPN. Races are also simulcast over ABC occasionally. However, most local channels won't have much to offer. For full race weekend coverage, including practice sessions, qualifying, and sprints, you'll also require ESPNU and ESPNEWS.
There's good news for Formula One fans, as all Fubo packages now have the ESPN channels, which means that you have more options on how to stream your favourite sport, so you don't miss any of the action. Fubo offers multiple subscription plans, including the new 'Fubo Sports', which costs $45.99 for the first month and then $55.99 per month for subsequent months. It's streamlined and sports-focused with over 28 channels, including the Tennis Channel, ESPN Unlimited, ESPN2, ESPNews, ESPNU, NFL Network, and local networks like ABC, CBS, and Fox. Other Fubo plans include the base 'Pro' package (around $85/month), the higher-tier 'Elite' (around $95/month), and there's also a 'Latino' package, which offers sports and entertainment channels in Spanish. Fubo offers a free 7-day trial to new subscribers for all of its plans.
