Sky F1 channel, cheapest option?

[24lemons]

What’s the cheapest way of accessing the sky F1 channel? I’ve been using Now TV this year which is about £30 per month. I’m not interested in entertainment packages or other sports channels.

I use BT for our internet but I could also change to sky if it’s cheaper.

That’s about the cheapest way i believe if you don’t have a tv subscription that you can add it on top of. Although if you know someone who will give you a sky login you can use that to watch on a laptop then screen that to a tv. Of course you can always do it illegally but I wouldn’t.

Or if it's just for this weekend, it's being shown free on C4.

Thanks for the replies. We currently pay about £60 a month for BT Fibre broadband 250 and landline. With now tv on top it’s obviously quite expensive. I was wondering if it was possible to get a BT/Sky package including F1 for around £60-70 per month.

There are ways and means of watching f1 without paying for it, obviously not able to go into any detail on here. but simply to say streaming is your friend.

Yes, that is how I have been watching it for a few years now. It is very annoying when it freezes just as they are lining up thought and you really need to know what you are doing.

NowTV usually offer SkySports for around £20 per month about a week before the season kicks off. However, apparently the F1 TV App can work with a VPN to show the races if you pay for it via Google Play. There are other methods via IPTV which aren't legal but are only advisable via VPN.

I also have BT Sport via my phone contract for watching MotoGP. To get BT Sport on it's own it costs about £25. However, if you get it via EE you can get BT Sport and 200GB of data for about £25 (which only shows BT Sport on your phone), then pay an extra £5 for "big screen". This effectively makes BT Sport £5.

Or if you have a relative who has Sky Sports, my Grandad does but doesn't want or use SkyGo.

So I installed SkyGo on my Xbox and access to everything he pays for.

I pay monthly via Now TV at about £30 per month - I dabbled at the start of 2020 with a trial and I've enjoyed it so much that I kept it up for the past 2 seasons and its worth the money for me for the F1 alone.


However they sent an offer out last week for 4 months for £20 (all in, ie £5 a month). Not sure if this was only for existing subscribers and intended to keep me engaged during the winter off-season, but thats great value.


Get googling and find some voucher codes.

I pay £56/month for Sky HD, full sports in HD, sky go extra, see it first, signature, ultimate TV add on, netflix via sky and a new Q box.

You can get good deals if you call.

Broadband isnt in that cost but they often have deals on that too.

[LukeBrown66]

I have the Sky Go option too, but do not watch a huge amount of F1, interesting that C4 have announced the race is free on there this weekend, done a deal with SKY it seems.

Anybody had the NOW TV offer yesterday for SKY sports for £20 a month .. only for 6 months though . so that will stop around the summer break , ( offer ends 20th FEB )

I'm undecided because it's likely they'll do a pay up front for the whole season as before .

[WonkeyDonkey]

I had 2 offers sent to seperate email addresses. £15pm for 3 months and £20pm for 6 months.

I split nowtv with a mate so will need boost also but pretty decent offer although the first month will be wasted as neither of us really watch football!

[PhilAsia]

Subscribe for the last lap of the last race if 2021 is anything to go by...

I've had the £20/month for 6 months offer. Does mean I could watch the St Petersburg Indycar race on Sun 27th Feb but I'm thinking I might hold out for the F1 season offer.

Fire stick / iptv

£6 pcm.

Austrian TV shows F1 on alternating channels without subscription

I paid for a legitimate VPN and stream with 5 Live playing on DAB for commentary
My German is also coming on leaps and bounds

Having paid for SKY F1 since they gobbled live racing its a mixed bag, certainly not as convenient as watching on my BFO telly but not exactly a hardship either

And after the last lap of last season Im a bit less keen to spend ££££ if you know what I mean

Cheers

Last year, I watched live on F1 TV Pro via VPN and f1viewer. Quadruple simultaneous streams no problem. Don't see why it wouldn't work this year too.

Would you mind telling me which country you use for your account please?
I scrolled through the lot semi randomly, saw one for EU49.99 for the year, forgot to make a proper note and cant recall which it was.

And can you easily switch the commentary to English?

Cheers
