F1 Saudi Arabian GP: How to watch on TV in the USA on ESPN

When is the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix?

This year’s race takes place on Sunday 19 March at 10:00am ET at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit.

There are two free practice sessions on Friday, and one on Saturday before qualifying.

What happened in last year’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix?

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen defeated Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc after a fierce duel for victory, with Carlos Sainz finishing third in the second Ferrari.

Leclerc and Verstappen played a wild tactical game of cat and mouse with each other regarding the position of the DRS detection zone.

Which channel shows F1 on TV in the USA?

All Formula 1 races will be shown live on U.S. TV by either ESPN, ESPN2 or ABC this year, as well as being streamed live or on-demand via its digital platform.

To make sure you don’t miss any of the action across practice, qualifying or racing – which will vary across its channels during the season – here’s how to tune in this weekend.
