How to watch F1 for free if you've lost ESPN, ABC on YouTube TV
الثلاثاء، 11 نوفمبر 2025
YouTube TV's carriage dispute with Disney has removed ESPN and ABC from the video platform just before Formula 1 heads to Brazil for the São Paulo Grand Prix. The race coverage starts Sunday 9 November, 11:55am ET on ESPN2. If you've lost access on YouTube TV, these are the legal ways you can still catch the race.
Why is this an issue?
Disney's networks, including ESPN and ABC, are currently unavailable on YouTube TV thanks to renewal talks that have stalled. With both sides looking for a renewal, no firm date has been announced. This is how you get around that in the interim.
Use a free trial from another live TV app that carries ESPN2
Fubo: Offers ESPN2 and advertises a free trial; sign up, watch the race, and cancel if you don’t want to continue. Check your ZIP code for local channel variations.
Sling TV (Orange) – Includes ESPN/ESPN2; periodic intro offers and day-pass style promos can make a single race weekend inexpensive.
Hulu + Live TV – Carries ESPN networks in its Live TV lineup (month-to-month). Free trials vary.
DIRECTV (streaming) – Packages list ESPN/ESPN2; some plans have promotional trials.

Subscribe directly to ESPN's streaming app
ESPN's direct-to-customer service was launched in August 2025. It offers several plans, such as ESPN Unlimited. These stream ESPN's linear channels inside the ESPN app without having to pay for cable. Make sure the plan carries ESPN2, and you're laughing your way to the podium.
