Melbourne race-day FAQ

What time does the F1 race start in Melbourne?

Silverstone is an overnight one for Melbourne — European rounds roll late night into the early hours, while the Australian and Asia-Pacific rounds sit in friendly daytime slots.

Where can I actually see the broadcast in 2026?

In Australia, F1 airs on Fox Sports and Kayo, with some races on free-to-air. The venues on this page show the full live broadcast, sound on.

Do I need to pay or book to join a watch party?

No — RSVPs on WatchF1 are free. They help the venue prep for your crew and count toward your Fan Championship points. Some venues offer reserved crew tables for bigger groups.

What's the Fan Championship?

The season-long title fight for fans: check in on race day, call your podium, keep your streak. Rally the Melbourne crew this Sunday and climb the national Crew Cup city standings.
