F1 Brazil (São Paulo) GP 2026: Session Times, How to Watch

The 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix runs from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 November at Interlagos. The race starts on Sunday 8 November at 14:00 São Paulo time, which is 17:00 in the UK, 18:00 CET and 12:00 US Eastern. It is a standard weekend with no sprint. The official broadcasters are Apple TV in the US, Sky Sports F1 in the UK and Ireland, TSN and RDS in Canada, and Globo in Brazil, where the race is on free TV. The full country list is below.

If your legal IPTV subscription carries one of those channels, the second half of this guide shows how to find each session in the TV guide, set a reminder and watch on iPhone, iPad or Apple TV with Stream Master.

Session times

Interlagos (Autódromo José Carlos Pace) is three hours behind UTC. The UK is on GMT and US daylight saving ended on 1 November, so the times below already reflect the clock changes.

Session	São Paulo (BRT)	UK (GMT)	CET	US Eastern (EST)
Practice 1, Fri 6 Nov	12:30–13:30	15:30	16:30	10:30
Practice 2, Fri 6 Nov	16:00–17:00	19:00	20:00	14:00
Practice 3, Sat 7 Nov	11:30–12:30	14:30	15:30	09:30
Qualifying, Sat 7 Nov	15:00–16:00	18:00	19:00	13:00
Race, Sun 8 Nov	14:00	17:00	18:00	12:00

France is four hours ahead of São Paulo in November, so French viewers can use the CET column.

What is at stake at Interlagos

The São Paulo Grand Prix is round 20 of 23. The race is 71 laps of the 4.309 km circuit. Its official name is the Formula 1 MSC Cruises Grande Premio de São Paulo 2026.

The drivers’ title is already settled. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) clinched it in Mexico City on 1 November by finishing third, while Max Verstappen won that race. Antonelli has 380 points, and Verstappen is second, 119 points behind.

The constructors’ title is still open. Mercedes leads on 630 points, 126 ahead of Ferrari, and can clinch it in Brazil by outscoring Ferrari by at least 3 points.

Following the weekend in Stream Master

Stream Master is a player, not a provider. It does not include any channels. It plays the M3U playlist or Xtream Codes login you already have from your own IPTV service. If that legal subscription carries Sky Sports F1, TSN, DAZN F1, SporTV or another rights holder, the app helps you find each session and avoid missing the start. If you have not added your playlist yet, use the Playlists tab, tap ”+”, then choose “Link m3u” or “Xtream Login”.

Find the session on iPhone or iPad

Open the Playlists tab, choose your playlist, then open the Live TV category that holds your F1 channel.
Tap the grid button in the toolbar to switch from the channel list to the EPG grid. It shows a timeline for today and tomorrow and is scrolled to the current time. The program that is live right now is highlighted.
Scroll along the channel’s row to find the session listing. Channels without guide data show “No Information”.
Already watching? The bar in the player shows the current and next program, and the schedule sheet lists what comes after.

The guide shows only what your provider’s guide contains. Xtream Codes providers supply it automatically. For M3U playlists, Stream Master uses the playlist’s own guide address. You can also add or replace one under the playlist card’s menu (…) > “Edit Playlist” > “EPG URL (XMLTV)”. There is more detail in our EPG TV guide walkthrough.

Set a reminder for qualifying or the race

In the EPG grid, programs that have not started yet show a bell icon. Tap it and you will see “Reminder Set”. The notification fires at the program’s start time, not before, so set it on the listing you want to catch from the beginning. If notifications are turned off, the app asks you to enable them in iOS Settings. Your reminders appear under “Upcoming Reminders” on the Home screen.

The iPhone and iPad grid covers today and tomorrow. That means the bell for Sunday’s race shows up from Saturday, and qualifying shows up from Friday, as long as your provider’s guide already lists them. Reminders, the TV guide and catch-up are all part of the free version.

On Apple TV

Open a Live TV category and choose “TV Guide”. It covers today and the next two days in a 3-hour window. Use the Now, earlier/later and day buttons to jump to Saturday’s qualifying or Sunday’s race, and “All Channels” lists every live channel in the playlist. This works for Xtream playlists and for M3U playlists that include an XMLTV guide.

While you watch, Up/Down on the Siri Remote changes channel. Clicking while the controls are showing opens the options panel, where you can choose “Audio”, “Subtitles” and “Picture” settings.

Big screen and extra feeds with Pro

With Pro on iPhone or iPad, you can send the session to a TV:

AirPlay: tap the AirPlay button in the player and pick your Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible TV.
Chromecast: tap the Cast button and pick a Google Cast device. If you change channel on the phone, a “Play on TV” button lets you choose when to send the new channel to the TV.

Our casting guide covers the setup in detail.

Multi-View shows up to four streams at once on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. It is useful if your provider carries onboard or alternate feeds alongside the main channel. On iPhone, tap the 2x2 grid button in the player, then use “Add Screen” and “Add Channel”. Only one tile plays sound; tap a tile to give it the sound. On Apple TV, moving focus to a tile switches the sound.

Pro users can also tap the red “REC” button to record the session that is playing. On Apple TV, recording is under “Record” in the options panel.

Missed a session? Catch-up

Catch-up works only with Xtream Codes playlists, and only on channels your provider archives.

iPhone and iPad: in the EPG grid, past programs you can replay have a light-green background and a green rewind icon. Tap one to watch it from the start. A program outside the provider’s archive window simply plays the live channel.
Apple TV: in the TV Guide, select a past program to play it from the archive, or long-press a channel to list its whole archive. “Start Over” and “Back to Live” are in the options panel.

More on how this works is in our Xtream catch-up guide.

After Brazil

The next round is the Las Vegas Grand Prix, from 19 to 21 November. The race is on Saturday 21 November at 20:00 local time. For the earlier weekend in Texas, see our US Grand Prix guide.

To follow Interlagos with your own provider’s guide and reminders, download Stream Master from the App Store.
