Channel 4 F1 highlights today: How to watch the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix FREE in the UK

The 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes place today (Saturday) and Channel 4 have free TV coverage of the big race in the UK.

The entire schedule around the streets of the capital has been moved forward 24 hours to avoid clashing with the country's national Remembrance Day on Sunday September 27.

That means the Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Saturday (September 26, noon UK, 1pm CEST).

Championship leader Kimi Antonelli goes into the weekend as favourite to claim another win, with Mercedes team-mate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton expected to be his closest challengers.

C4 have you covered for free highlights in the UK, and we have full details.
