Where to watch & stream Canadian Grand Prix 2023

The Canadian Grand Prix is a staple of the Formula 1 calendar, having been a part of the roster almost every season since 1967. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve has hosted the Canadian GP every year since 1978, one of the longest-serving circuits still on the calendar.

Montreal is a real fan-favourite and was for a long time the only Formula 1 race in North America. While new races have joined the roster, Canada remains arguably the most popular on the continent.

Montreal is in the Eastern North American time zone, so it's five hours behind the UK. That means that sessions this weekend are in the afternoon and evening in Europe.

When it comes to the most successful drivers in Canada, some familiar names are at the top of the leaderboard. Both Michael Schumacher and Sir Lewis Hamilton have amassed seven victories each here over the years.

Nelson Piquet is next on the all-time list with three wins and five other drivers have a pair of wins each.

On the current grid, Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso are the only other drivers to stand on the top step here in 2022 and 2006, respectively. But where can you watch & stream the Canadian Grand Prix? Let's find out!

UK

We'll begin with the UK, where all sessions will be shown live on Sky Sports F1. Sky Sports F1 will be the only channel to see all sessions of the 2023 season live in the UK.
