Formula One Group has launched its premium OTT platform "F1 TV Pro" in India for the broadcast of the Grand Prix season 2023 on 21/02/2023. No broadcaster has acquired the broadcast rights in this territory for this season.

F1 TV Pro can be accessed for a monthly fee of 399 Indian rupees (€4.50) or via an annual subscription of 2,999 rupees (€33.90). "The digital platform will broadcast all race weekends, including practice and qualifying sessions, F1 Sprint events and Grand Prix," explained the body.

• "Fans in India will also be able to tune-in to the Porsche Supercup series and FIA Formula 2 and 3 sessions and races. Fans can follow the progress of Formula 2 drivers Jehan Daruvala and Kush Maini as they vie for the F2 crown and look to make the step up to Formula 1," explained Formula One Group.
• The 2023 Formula One season begins with the Bahrain Grand Prix, from 03 to 05/03/2023.
