The Formula 1 2026 Canadian Grand Prix is finally here. As the racing world descends on the legendary Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montréal, the anticipation is building for one of the most exciting weekends on the calendar.
Whether you are following the championship leaders or cheering on local favourite Lance Stroll, here is the best way to catch the action.
If you are planning to watch the practice sessions, qualifying, or the main race on your iPhone or other devices, here is your essential guide to streaming in Canada.
Bell Media’s TSN and RDS hold the exclusive rights to the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship in Canada. This means your viewing options are tied to these networks.
If you want to watch it for free, Bell has a promo right now where its wireless plans are offering 3 months of TSN, so that’s one way to get access to F1 and the upcoming FIFA World Cup without paying (well, you’re paying with it through your phone plan).
The main race on Sunday, May 24, will be broadcast live on both TSN and CTV. You can stream these channels directly through the TSN app or by logging into your cable provider’s website or app on your iPhone. You’ll also be able to watch the F1 on Crave as well.
For French-language coverage, RDS provides comprehensive, expert live broadcasts of the entire season. You can catch the action through their network and digital platforms.
If you want total control over your viewing experience, F1 TV Pro is the way to go. Many fans prefer this route because it offers ad-free streaming for every session, both live and on-demand.
With an F1 TV Pro subscription, you can switch between various camera angles, listen to exclusive team radios, and use the live data dashboard to track lap times and gaps. The F1 TV app works great on the iPhone, making it perfect if you are away from the TV.
F1 TV Pro and its TV Premium tier, which allows for live-streaming in 4K and multi-view, costs $12.99 CAD per month or $99.99 CAD per year.
The action kicks off today. Here is a look at when the cars will be on track:
Practice 1 and Sprint Qualifying take place today, Friday, May 22. The Sprint Race and main Qualifying are set for Saturday, May 23, followed by the Grand Prix on Sunday, May 24, starting at 12:55pm PT/3:55pm ET.
Before the lights go out, double-check that your TSN, F1 TV or Crave apps are updated on your iPhone. It is the best way to ensure you don’t run into any technical snags during the race. Whether you are at home or out and about, it is going to be a wild weekend in Montréal.
