Canadian Grand Prix fans in the UK have a clear schedule to follow, with practice, sprint qualifying, the sprint, qualifying and the race all listed in BST. BBC coverage will run across BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app, while the race commentary will also be available on smart speakers by asking for BBC Radio 5 Live or BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra.
The weekend begins with first practice on Friday from 17:30 to 18:30, followed later that day by sprint qualifying from 21:30 to 22:14. Saturday brings the sprint from 17:00 to 18:00 and qualifying from 21:00 to 22:00, before the race starts on Sunday at 21:00 with build-up from 20:45.
Canadian Grand Prix UK times
All listed timings are in BST, which makes it easier for British viewers and listeners to plan around the action. Friday’s opening session will be heard on BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and smart speakers, while sprint qualifying moves to Sports Extra 3 via BBC Sounds and smart speakers.
Saturday keeps the focus on the sprint and the fight for the grid, with the sprint itself on Sports Extra 3 via BBC Sounds and smart speakers. Qualifying then returns to BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra, BBC Sounds and smart speakers, giving fans another live option before Sunday’s main event.
How to follow the action
BBC has also confirmed extra on-demand coverage around the weekend. The Chequered Flag podcast remains part of the package, and for the first time this year the post-race show for every grand prix can be watched on BBC iPlayer and YouTube.
That adds another layer for fans who want analysis after the chequered flag falls. Live race commentary will be carried on BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds and the BBC Sport website and app, with smart speaker access also available for listeners who prefer audio updates at home.
