Full Austrian GP schedule and TV guide for F1 fans

Round eight of the 2026 Formula 1 season takes place at the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg from June 26 to 28, with two practice sessions on Friday, final practice and qualifying on Saturday, and the 71-lap race set for Sunday at 3 p.m. local time, or 14:00 BST. The weekend comes after Lewis Hamilton won in Barcelona for Ferrari, his first victory for the team, which cut Kimi Antonelli’s championship lead to 41 points after Antonelli retired late in Spain. George Russell and Lando Norris also finished on the Barcelona podium, and warm, dry weather is expected in Spielberg, with temperatures forecast around 31.5C to the low 30s, a factor that could shape tire strategy.

Viewers in the UK can watch every session on Sky Sports F1, stream through NowTV and Sky Go, and see free highlights on Channel 4. BBC coverage will run across Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, the BBC Sport website and app, BBC iPlayer, the Chequered Flag podcast and YouTube. In the U.S., Apple TV will offer free weekend coverage, while F1 TV Pro and F1 TV Premium will carry every session live, along with live timing on F1.com and in the F1 app.

The Austrian Grand Prix weekend will also include Formula 2 and Formula 3 action, with practice, qualifying, sprint races and feature races on the support bill.
