Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2025: How to watch this weekend's F1 race, TV channel, time and more

After a two-week break, Formula 1 is back and headed to Baku, Azerbaijan for the Qatar Airways Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The course, known as the Baku City Circuit, features some of the narrowest streets on the F1 circuit and is bordered by many of the city's historic fortress walls. Last year's winner was Oscar Piastri, who currently sits at the top of this season's leaderboard with 7 first-place finishes.

You can catch this week's Azerbaijan Grand Prix on Sunday morning at 7 a.m. on ESPN and F1 TV Pro. This weekend's practices and qualifying races on Friday and Saturday will air across F1 TV Pro, ESPN2, ESPN3, ESPNU, and ESPN Deportes.
