How to follow Azerbaijan Grand Prix on the BBC
All the key BBC coverage details for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, which takes place from 24-26 September.
Round 15 of the 2026 Formula 1 season brings the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to Baku from September 24-26. Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli claimed victory last year, extending his championship lead to 81 points. McLaren's Lando Norris secured third place after a strong qualifying lap, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished second after giving up positions early in the race to Lewis Hamilton.
This year, Isack Hadjar, a Red Bull driver, will return to action after missing the past three races due to a wrist injury. The 51-lap race, scheduled for Saturday, will start at 12:00 BST. BBC will provide comprehensive coverage, including commentary across Radio 5 Live, BBC Sounds, and the BBC Sport website and app. Fans can also listen via smart speakers by saying "play 5 Live."
BBC will also offer post-race shows on iPlayer and YouTube for the first time this year. The weather forecast predicts sunny conditions during the entire event, with temperatures reaching 28C during practice sessions, 25C during qualifying, and an expected 25C for the 51-lap race starting at 3pm local time. The race's move to Saturday is due to conflicts with Azerbaijan Remembrance Day on September 27.
