Formula 1 is back with the first race of the championship underway later today. The Bahrain Grand Prix is sure to be a fantastic start to the 2024 F1 schedule. If you’re keen to check out the F1 Bahrain live stream, you’re in luck. We’ve got everything you need to know about how to watch the Bahrain Grand Prix for free today, along with some insight on what to do if you’re traveling.

How to watch Bahrain Grand Prix for free

If you’re based in Austria or Luxembourg, you can check out the Bahrain Grand Prix for free along with all of the 75th F1 World Championship. That’s thanks to there being free streams through ORF in Austria and RTL Zwee in Luxembourg. If you’re from either country and traveling abroad, you can still access these by using a VPN like NordPN (one of the best VPNs). It’s a good solution for ensuring you can catch the race in your first language rather than being stuck with it in English. It’s entirely safe and legal to do so for residents of the country in question.

If you’re in the US and want to stream it in English, you can sign up for a Fubo free trial. The streaming service is perfect for sports fans with plenty of options including ESPN which is the channel showing the Bahrain Grand Prix. The Fubo free trial lasts seven days so there’s plenty of time to see what else it has to offer with dozens of channels to choose from. Just remember to cancel it before the free trial ends so you don’t pay a cent. Fubo has sports channels like CBS Sports Network, NFL Network, NBA TV, NHL Network, Fox Sports, along with dozens of other TV channels to suit your mood.

Other ways to watch Bahrain Grand Prix

If Fubo doesn’t appeal to you and you’re not eligible to use other free ways to watch the Bahrain Grand prix, there are other ways to watch the race. Here’s a look at the main notable services that has the Bahrain Grand Prix.

  • <strong>Hulu with Live TV</strong> . Hulu with Live TV has ESPN in its lineup so you can easily watch the Bahrain Grand Prix. It also has live sports like NCAA and NBA basketball, as well as NHL hockey, and the English Premier League. Other live channels number ABC, CBS, Fox, and CNN so there’s plenty of variety here. The best shows on Hulu are worth checking out along with the best Hulu Originals while you can upgrade to a package including Disney+ and ESPN+. Hulu with Live TV costs from $76 with the bundle plan costing from $77 per month.
  • <strong>Sling TV</strong> . Sling is a highly affordable option for watching ESPN and therefore the Bahrain Grand Prix. You need the Sling Orange tier to watch ESPN with the package currently costing just $20 for the first month before rising to $40 for future months. Bundle it with Sling Blue and you get even more TV channels and pay just $27.50 for the first month before rising to $55. Other channels include CNN, Comedy Central TNT, and The History Channel so there’s something for everyone here, outside of the F1 coverage. There’s also extensive cloud DVR support included in your subscription if you can’t catch everything live.
  • <strong>YouTube TV</strong> . Continuing to be one of the best ways to watch live sports online is YouTube TV. It’s seen a recent price increase to $73 per month but there’s a YouTube TV free trial to start you off. The service has more than 100 channels and those include ESPN so it’s the perfect place for the F1 schedule. Options like The Food Network, TNT, CNN, Fox, Comedy Central and NBC will always give you something to watch, besides the dedicated networks for the NFL, NBA, and MLB.

Matt Damon continues his ‘Odyssey’ to bring clean water to people who need it
See Matt Damon become a rapper to make sure everyone knows they can help a family in need
Adult, Male, Man

Matt Damon is a busy man. He has always had a lot going on and is one of the true movie stars remaining in the world today. But, while he is winding down the build-up for one of the biggest projects of his career, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, he is not distracted from his lifelong project to bring clean water to millions around the world. Get Blue is a new initiative launched to further that mission. It is partnering with a ton of your favorite brands so you can easily get on board and bring this goal closer to shore. One of the ways he is doing this is by bringing attention to the cause by stepping into a new role of The Nomad, a rapper spittin' rhymes about water.

Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s what Get Blue is built on. I won’t stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. - Matt Damon

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations
A new limited edition turntable combining physical and streaming makes music as generational as family
Electronics, Cd Player, Hot Tub

I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson's Thriller or Dr. Dre's The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes and worked better in the context of an entire album. He could sit and listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Beatles' Abbey Road with no breaks. I think the only album we could both do that with was Nirvana's Nevermind. In any case, by the time I was able to decide on the music in my own car, my generation was ripping music and making playlists on CDs. Even the greatest hits collections still had only one artist at a time. We wanted a collection of artists giving us the same feeling for 90 minutes without changing a CD. However, there is something to be said about my dad's way. A good album is a good album. And listening to them unbroken is a lost joy we're discovering again as a society. That is why Bang & Olufsen's new Beosystem drop is making a splash. The Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition brings the two generations together, making music the connection we've always needed it to be.

Six subscription services you can buy dad today and gift tomorrow
For the ultra procrastinator, here are gifts you can get today that you don't have to wait for delivery.
Adult, Male, Man

We all love Dad. But that doesn't mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you to call your dad tomorrow for Father's Day, then panicked because you forgot to get him something, you're not alone. The biggest issue with procrastinating on a gift is that you have to wait for delivery for most things. Getting a gift you can get your hands on right now is a lot harder to do. That is, unless you buy a subscription service. That's right, get him something that feels tailor-made for him without it needing to be done three months ago. Here are six subscription services for any kind of man in your life.
