How to watch the FIA Formula E Championship for free
The good news is that these countries are offering free streaming of the London ePrix:
- Belgium — RTBF (free with French commentary)
- UK — Channel 4 (free with English commentary)
The problem with RTBF and Channel 4 is that they are only available from Belgium and the UK respectively. That is unless you're using a VPN.
With a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in another country, meaning you can access sites like RTBF and Channel 4 from anywhere in the world. This process might sound complicated, but it's actually really straightforward:
- Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN)
- Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
- Open up the app and connect to a server in Belgium or the UK
- Visit RTBF or Channel 4
- Watch the FIA Formula E Championship from anywhere in the world
The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but they do tend to offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By using these guarantees, you can watch the FIA Formula E Championship without committing with your cash. This is obviously not a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch individual race weekends for free.
