Overview

  • Sunday’s 72-lap race at Circuit Zandvoort starts at 3 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET / 1300 GMT) after practice Friday and qualifying Saturday.
  • U.S. coverage airs on ESPN/ESPN+, with Sky Sports F1 carrying the UK broadcast and BBC Radio 5 Live and Channel 4 providing UK highlights.
  • Max Verstappen said Dutch viewers can watch the weekend free on Viaplay TV, adding a home twist to his return to a venue where he has three wins.
  • McLaren arrive as clear favorites after seven one-twos this season, including the last four races, as their intra-team battle defines the championship picture.
  • Qualifying looms large at the tight, banked Zandvoort circuit where overtaking is difficult, and the event is slated to leave the calendar after the 2026 edition.
