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

With all the sprint action out of the way, attention will switch on Saturday afternoon to main F1 race duties at the Belgian Grand Prix.

There are a maximum of 33 points on offer for drivers this weekend, with 25 of those awarded to the winner of Sunday's main event.

Qualifying for that main race takes place TODAY (Saturday, July 26), with Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and Max Verstappen set to renew their world championship battle.

Piastri leads the way in the drivers' standings, but is attempting to end his three-race grand prix win drought at Spa, with Norris having diminished his championship lead thanks to a stunning home victory at Silverstone last time out.

The Australian has four pole positions in 2025, the same number as Verstappen and one more than Norris, and the sealing of top spot on Saturday has often resulted in success on Sunday during this year's campaign.

Ferrari, meanwhile, are hoping to get closer to McLaren and Mercedes this weekend, with a number of upgrades that have been brought to the track to try and give Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc a boost - both of whom are without a grand prix pole position in 2025.

But who will come out on top in main race qualifying at Spa, and how can you watch it in your region? Keep reading to find out!
