Sure, it does look suspiciously like Max Verstappen is strolling towards another F1 title basically unchallenged, but things can change. Mercedes have shown improvements in recent races, and that could materialise in some genuine competition this weekend. We're not making any promises, but there's only one way to find out.

Looking for the best way to watch the Canadian Grand Prix for free? We've got all the information you need.

When is the Canadian Grand Prix?

The 2023 Canadian Grand Prix takes place over 70 laps of the 4.361-kilometre Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal. The full schedule can be found here:

  • Practice 1 — 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. BST on June 16

  • Practice 2 — 10:00 to 11:00 p.m. BST on June 16

  • Practice 3 — 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. BST on June 17

  • Qualifying — 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. BST on June 17

  • Race — 7:00 p.m. BST on June 18

Sky Sports is broadcasting live coverage of every race this season, with race highlights on Channel 4 shortly after the race on June 18 (11:30 p.m. BST). The coverage on Sky Sports is pretty great, but it's definitely not free.

Fortunately, there is an alternative way to watch the Canadian Grand Prix. And you don't need to spend anything.

How to livestream the Canadian Grand Prix for free

With a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in another country. This quick and easy process provides access to streaming services from around the world.

Belgium’s RTBF and Austria’s ServusTV will show all of the 2023 F1 races free to stream. You can watch RTBF and ServusTV from anywhere in the world by following this process with a VPN:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly service like ExpressVPN(opens in a new tab)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in Belgium or Austria

  4. Connect to RTBF or ServusTV

  5. Watch the Canadian Grand Prix from anywhere in the world

The best VPNs for this task are not free, but they do tend to offer pretty generous money-back guarantees. By using these money-back guarantees, you can watch F1 livestreams without fully committing with your cash. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch the Canadian Grand Prix without actually spending any of your hard-earned cash.

It's a sneaky trick, but it works because ExpressVPN returns your investment without hassle.
