F1 75 Live: Everything you need to know about the F1 season launch event including how to watch

The day of the inaugural F1 season launch event has arrived, so here is everything you need to know about F1 75, which will be coming to you live from London's O2 Arena.

Each team will be revealing its 2025 F1 season livery and there is a line-up of musical acts and special guests to keep fans in attendance - and at home - entertained throughout.

Check out below important questions like: when will it start, how can I watch, and who is performing?

How will it work?

Throughout the day, from 11:00 in the UK, the F1 teams will be hosting media sessions with journalists - this includes both drivers and team principals.

For most teams, it will be the first time holding media duties since the end of the 2024 F1 season.

These sessions are staggered and will finish late afternoon, so keep an eye on the RacingNews365 website for all the biggest talking points.

There are, however, two notable exceptions: McLaren and Ferrari. The former hosted media sessions at its Silverstone launch last Thursday, and the latter will doing so at Maranello - when it launches its own car - tomorrow.

Following the press portion of the day, the red carpet will start at 17:30 local time and run for two hours, until 19:30.

The actual F1 75 event itself gets underway at 20:00, which is when live coverage starts, with the array of musical guests performing at various points throughout.

Each team will be allotted seven minutes to present its car, which means 70 minutes-worth of livery unveilings.

What time does it start?

As mentioned above, the event kicks off properly at 20:00 in the UK, so 21:00 across much of Mainland Europe. That is 15:00 on the East Coast of the United States and midday on the West Coast.

Much of the Middle East is either three or four hours ahead of the UK, so the event will start at 23:00 or midnight local time.

Of course, further east it will be Wednesday morning, including in Melbourne, where it will be 07:00 when the event gets underway.

How can I watch it?

For those not lucky enough to secure one of the tickets for the highly-anticipated event, all of F1's usual broadcasters will be televising it live on their respective channels, including Sky Sports F1 (and Main Event) in the United Kingdom.

Additionally, in a further boost to fans, F1 is streaming the festivities from on its social media channels, including YouTube, for free.

Therefore, nobody will miss out - new and old fans alike. And remember, live coverage starts at 20:00 local time.

Who is performing?

F1 has confirmed four musical guests: Take That, Kane Brown, mgk (formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly) and Brian Tyler's We Are Dreaming.

The event will also be hosted by Jack Whitehall. The British actor and comedian will be joined on stage by F1 TV's Laura Winter, Lawrence Barretto and Ariana Bravo.

There will also be special appearances from F1 legends and global celebrities.
