Match Preview
Watch the Austrian Grand Prix 2026 in London on Sunday 28 June 2026, with lights out at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg set for 2:00pm UK time, one of the most fan-friendly starts across the entire Formula 1 calendar. The Red Bull Ring is a short, punchy circuit at 4.3 kilometres that produces some of the most intense racing of the year, with fast sweeping corners and a long main straight generating close battles and genuine overtaking opportunities, particularly through Turn 3 and the back section of the lap. The circuit is also the home race of Red Bull Racing, meaning a passionate partisan crowd in Austria and an electric atmosphere that translates well even when watching from a London sports bar. The 2:00pm race start means you can comfortably arrive at a pub by 1:15pm to catch the formation lap and pre-race build-up without rushing, and the race is typically wrapped up by 4:00pm, leaving a comfortable Sunday evening ahead. Live coverage of the Austrian Grand Prix 2026 is on Sky Sports F1 and Channel 4 in the UK, with both platforms covering the race in full. London sports bars with dedicated F1 screens tend to fill up across the European summer races, so booking a table in advance at your preferred venue is the sensible move to secure a good view of the action for the Austrian Grand Prix 2026 in London.
