How to watch the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2021 today for FREE: TV channel and live stream for title decider

Marc Mayo12 December 2021

This afternoon’s title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix will be broadcast on terrestrial television after Channel 4 agreed a deal with Sky Sports.

An announcement on Thursday confirmed the opportunity for fans across the country to witness Lewis Hamilton’s duel with Max Verstappen on terrestrial television, with the race beginning at 1pm.

Channel 4 thanked the satellite network in their social media confirmation with the broadcaster previously picking up the 2019 Cricket World Cup final from Sky and showing Emma Raducanu’s US Open final victory after a deal with Amazon Prime.

Sunday’s Saudi Arabian GP, which saw multiple incidents between Hamilton and Verstappen on track, attracted a record audience of 2.66 million to Sky’s F1 channel - with many more expected this weekend.

Stephen van Rooyen, EVP & CEO UK & Europe Sky, said: "The brilliant Sky Sports F1 team will give viewers on Channel 4 and Sky Sports the best insight, commentary and analysis of every twist and turn of this most eagerly anticipated final race of the season.

“Additionally all Sky TV customers will have live coverage of the important qualifying session on Saturday, and the race on Sunday - which we will also show live on Sky Showcase."
