TV Package

BeinSport has the legal right to broadcast the Formula 1 2024 season in Thailand. There are two ways you can watch it directly from your television.

beINSPORTS

You can subscribe to beINSPORTS directly from their website. It costs only 1,190 baht a year.

After that, you can download the beINSPORTS application to your television and watch it from there.

With it, you can watch from your phone, computer, and TV.

Please note that to watch beINSPORTS on your TV, you need to download their mobile application to your phone first. Then, there’s a TV login option to log in to your account on the TV.

This is the most affordable option.

In addition to the Formula 1 2024, you can also watch La Liga, Serie A, and UEFA Champions League with it.

TrueVisions

TrueVisions is the biggest TV broadcaster in Thailand. They have also been a broadcast partner with beINSPORTS.

TrueVisions has many packages available that include the Formula 1 2024 season. The most affordable package is their “STANDARD” package, which costs 249 baht per month.

With it, you can watch their beINSPORTS 1 and beINSPORTS 2 channels, which stream the F1 2024 season.

Please note that the TrueVisions package has a minimum contract of 6 to 12 months, and there may be an installation fee depending on your package.

To get a better deal, you can look at their internet package that includes TrueVisions, home internet, and a SIM card.

Since their packages are subject to regular changes, it’s recommended to contact their support center to find out more.

Online Streaming

If you subscribe to BeinSport or TrueVisions, you should also be able to watch it directly from their website.

In addition, there are other legal streaming options to watch the Formula 1 2024 season:

• F1 TV Pro: Your all-access pass to every race, qualifying, and practice session.
• Sky Go: For fans in the UK, catch every thrilling moment on Sky Sports.
• ESPN: US-based fans, this is your go-to for live F1 action.

You can subscribe to their channels as you would back home.

Please note that there are geo-restrictions if you watch these broadcasters from abroad, so you will need a VPN for it.

Watch Formula 1 Online for Free

If you do not want to subscribe to these paid services, you can watch F1 from these broadcasters for free. But you still need to use a VPN service to bypass geo-restriction.

Broadcasters

• ABC: USA (English commentary)
• RTBF: Belgium (French commentary)*
• ServusTV: Austria (German commentary)*
• 10play: Australia (English commentary – Australia GP only)
• Channel 4: UK (English commentary – British GP only)

Recommended VPNs for Watching F1 2024

In order to bypass geo-restrictions, the easiest way is to use a VPN service.

This year, Surfshark has a special promotion for F1 enthusiasts. Prices start at only US$2.49 a month, and you can watch all races from your favorite channels.

What you need to do is subscribe to their service, install an app, choose a server, and go to a broadcaster’s website. That’s it.

In addition to Surfshark, you can use NordVPN and ExpressVPN.

We don’t recommend using any free VPN service because of speed limits and security loopholes.

Sports Bar

If you do not want to watch Formula 1 2024 online at home, you can watch it at many sports clubs throughout Thailand.

These sports clubs regularly stream F1 2024 on weekends. As long as the match doesn’t happen at the same time as the English Premier League, chances are they will stream F1 there.

So, before heading there, you should contact them in advance to make sure they really stream F1 by the time you are there.

In addition, many sports pubs also post their streaming schedule on their social media or website. You can check it in advance and go there during the live event.

Below is a list of popular sports pubs that regularly stream Formula 1. If you know any sports pubs that should be added to this list, please let us know.

To find a club near you, you can join the F1 Thailand Fanclub Facebook group. While the group members are mainly Thai, some of them can speak English and can recommend you the place you should go to watch F1 offline. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/F1ThailandFanclub/).
