Official stream

FanCode carries the Formula 1 weekend in India

FanCode provides the official live stream for practice, Qualifying, Sprints and races through its app and website, with highlights available around the live schedule. Open the event page before buying because available passes and subscription formats can change.

Watch on television

Tata Play FanCode Sports is the large-screen alternative

Tata Play customers can add FanCode Sports to watch supported coverage through a television channel rather than casting from a phone. Channel packs and billing are separate from direct FanCode app access, so confirm which option your account includes.

Race times in India

Use IST for every session, not just the Grand Prix

European races are often convenient evening viewing in India, while American rounds can run late at night or after midnight. The schedule converts practice, Qualifying, Sprint and race starts to IST so fans can plan the entire weekend.
