F1 Qualifying Today: Monaco Grand Prix 2025 start time, TV channel and FREE live stream

Qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix takes place TODAY (Saturday, May 24), as round eight of the 2025 championship gets into full swing.

Monaco GP qualifying is arguably the single most important qualifying session of the year, with the narrow, windy streets of Monte Carlo mixed with the giant modern-day Formula 1 cars making overtaking during Sunday's race a difficult task.

The polesitter usually goes on to win the race in Monaco, as Charles Leclerc managed last year in an emotional victory in front of his home crowd.

The Monegasque star is expected to be a surprise contender for pole position once more in 2025, despite Ferrari's qualifying struggles so far this season.

Both he and team-mate Lewis Hamilton showed good pace in the Ferraris during Friday's practice sessions, and they could yet provide a challenge to usual qualifying protagonists Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.

Piastri and Verstappen have shared six of the seven grand prix pole positions so far in 2025, with Lando Norris claiming the other.

But what time can you catch the drivers battling it out for pole position around the historic streets of Monaco?
