Where to watch F1 this year is a question every true fan asks. Starting this year, after ten years, Nova took over the broadcasting rights again, and Nova made good use of it. If you were looking for F1 on Nova's existing programs, then you are out of luck. In short, you will have to pay more for F1. Nova has created new channels Nova Sport 5 and Nova Sport 6. All training sessions, qualifications, sprints and F1 races will be broadcast on Nova Sport 5.

So if you're only after F1, then you need the Nova Sport 5 and you may not be interested in the Nova Sport 6. The problem is that you currently only have two options to get to the Nova Sport 5, and in Slovakia there is only one. In the Czech Republic, Nova Sport 5 is currently only offered by O2 and Skylink. In Slovakia, only Skylink. So if you want to watch F1 with commentary from Josef Král and Štěv Eisele, you have to use the services of one of these operators.

If you are not interested in commenting, then of course you can use foreign broadcasts, for example on ORF, or the simplest option, which is F1 TV Pro. This can be obtained for €51 per year or €7,49 per month. Although you will be deprived of the commentary of Pepa and Štěvo, you will only pay for F1 and you do not have to change the operator immediately. Honestly, I'm considering just doing without a comment and I'd rather pay €51 for this season than €16 per month, or €200 per year for Skylink, when I don't watch anything but F1 on TV anyway.
It's a shame how TV Nova approached the acquisition of the rights to F1, but unfortunately we, the viewers and fans, can't do anything about it. So, if you are not an existing O2 CZ or Skylink customer, then the question is which of us is worth paying €150 a year to listen to commentary from Štěv and Josef Král instead of F1 experts.
So there is the possibility to watch the free online stream on the Austrian ORF and ServusTV via VPN, but you have to reckon with a German-speaking commentator.
I would also like to add that both stations have it divided into 12 VCs and each broadcasts trainings and qualifications. So watching F1 for free but in German :)
Anyway, what you write in the comment is written in the article....
ORF clear winner 🤪
I have Vodafoneone (Internet and TV) and if they don't have Nova Sport 5, I'll switch to O2. For me, Eisking duo is simply TOP and I can't imagine life without them.
And when you have F1 tv pro, you can use the MultiViewer application to make a composite screen, or even several, from different cameras, cockpits, live timing, position on the track, etc.
The problem with F1TV is that you can watch online on 1 device. With Skylink 2 devices, with O2 100 devices for an additional charge of 3 CZK. So if we are in a family miniAt least 2 of us want F1 and we don't always meet at home in front of the same TV, so F1TV is no longer such an advantage.
is possible simultaneously on 2. Tried :-))
F1TV PRO…. three devices (TV, mobile, tablet) at the same time with the possibility of switching cameras.
Previously it was F1 + MotoGP on Voyu, then Vodafoneone offered the Sportsman Package, later Zapni.tv. Since last year I've been watching it for free again, Sport 2 couldn't be ordered directly, I don't need 200 stations, it's too complicated or absurdly expensive.
It's worse with motorbikes. Only O2 will probably have them. I was hoping for Skylink at least because it has an app for ATVs, unlike O2. The requirement for an app for ATVs and both new sports is a bit of a mission impossible... Holt will choose the best of the stupid ones variant.
I had a cheaper internet cable card. which offered NS1, NS2 and both Sport tv from AMC, but by Nova's decision, both Novasports became uninteresting channels with a poor offer. I canceled the cable and for the same money bought Netflix and satisfaction at home (bonus without ads). F1 was fine, but it doesn't make sense for me to pay hundreds of CZK more for an offer when I'm not very interested in other sports. I'll probably do the same as the others and look for an available stream. If someone could give me instructions on how to watch ORF in advance, thanks.
This is a duo of dreams... Terrible, Nova blocked it, it is the dictate of unavailability, and on top of that these commentators and affected Slovak. The choice is clear, f1 TV pro.
It's Števo, not Števo..
We write in Czech
You can also watch Nova Sport 5 and 6 on voyo, 160 CZK per month
Yes, but only on voyo sk
Voyo only has nova sport 1 and 2, so f1 is out of luck. New it just after….
