This Sunday, May 3 at 7:00 p.m. (French time) the Miami Formula 1 Grand Prix is being held. After a month of hunger following the cancellation of races in the Middle East, here’s how to watch the Miami F1 GP live and in high definition.
The day finally arrived despite the weather conditions which forced the organizers to move the race forward by three hours. Tonight at 7:00 p.m. French time, the Miami Grand Prix 2026 takes to the Florida circuit for one of the most anticipated races of the season. Kimi Antonelli and George Russell have dominated the championship with Mercedes since the start of the season and they will still start favorites despite the few modifications to the engine. A late afternoon race in Florida, an electric atmosphere guaranteed and a question that thousands of fans are already asking: where to watch the Miami GP live, ideally for free and in high definition?
Streaming F1 Miami 2026: solutions to watch the race live
In France, Canal+ holds the exclusive rights to watch F1 live. The channel is broadcasting the Miami GP this evening from 7:00 p.m. with analyzes from Mr. Julien Fébreau. To watch the Miami Grand Prix in streaming if you are in France, simply go through the myCanal application on smart TV, tablet or smartphone, or on myCanal.fr from any browser – and you will need to spend a few dozen euros per month to benefit from it (from €34.99 per month for Canal+ Sport). This is the only legal and official solution if you are in France.
For those who want to watch F1 Miami 2026 streaming without going through Canal+, F1 TV is an alternative but you will not have access to the rest of the Canal+ catalog (including the Champions League and next week’s PSG match against Bayern Munich) and you will not have the best comments from Canal+ stars. The official Formula 1 platform allows you to watch F1 live with multiple camera angles and real-time technical data, for around €7.99/month.
Watch the Miami GP free in Belgium and Switzerland
For those who want to watch the Miami Grand Prix free this Sunday and are based in Switzerland or Belgium, it is possible. In Belgium, the RTBF channel broadcasts F1 unencrypted (and therefore free and in HD) via its Auvio streaming platform, accessible at https://auvio.rtbf.be/direct. In Switzerland, RTS offers free streaming of the Miami GP on rts.ch/play/tv/direct or on channels RTS1 and RTS2. These two French-speaking public channels broadcast the entire race with very good commentary in French and no subscription required.
If you are in these countries and want to protect your connection, you can use a VPN to change your IP address and enjoy streaming the Miami F1 GP for free: CyberGhost, for example, sells its VPN at €1.75 per month (i.e. half the price of the entire market) with a reduction of -87% for a few days, it offers servers optimized to display the live stream of RTS or RTBF. And above all, you have 45 days of trial to test the VPN without obligation and without risk: if you don’t like it, you request a refund and that’s it!

Be careful, if you are in France and you use a VPN to watch free F1 in Belgium or Switzerland: it is not legal. Canal+ has acquired the rights to broadcast all of Formula 1 live in France, and it holds the exclusivity. If you are in France, you are therefore obliged to go through the encrypted channel (or the official Formula One channel) to watch the Miami 2026 GP.
