A day of auto racing around the globe kicks off with one of the most prestigious races in the entire sport: the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix.

The “crown jewel of the F1 schedule,” which is held at the Circuit de Monaco, has a 3.337 km circut with 19 turns. Racers will drive 78 laps total. Monaco is the only race on the F1 schedule that doesn’t meet the league’s 190-mile minimum race distance, and it’s also one of the slowest on average thanks to a tight, twisting course.

Monte Carlo native Charles Leclerc won last year’s race, becoming the first driver from Monaco to win the Monaco GP in its history. Leclerc will start in second position this year, behind Lando Norris.

Aside from Norris and Leclerc, Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen make up the first four positions. One of Norris, Piastri, or Verstappen have won every race so far this season (the last time someone who wasn’t one of those three won a F1 race was in the November 2024 Las Vegas GP).

Here’s everything you need to know to tune in to today’s Formula One race.

The 2025 Monaco Grand Prix begins at 9 a.m. ET today, May 25.

If you don’t have cable or a TV antenna, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream the Monaco Grand Prix for free.

One option we love is DIRECTV, which comes with five days free and starts at $69.99/month, with plenty of subscription options that include ABC so you can choose the signature or genre pack that works best for you.

The Monaco Grand Prix will also stream live on ESPN+, which is currently offering one of its lowest prices ever for a subscription. You can save over 50% and get your first three months for $4.99/month.

If you want to save a few bucks in the longer term by bundling some streaming services to watch the Monaco Grand Prix, consider the Disney Bundle. For just $16.99/month, you’ll get access to ESPN+, Disney+, and Hulu with ads.

Following post-qualifying penalties given out to Lance Stroll (one-place), Oliver Bearman (10-place), and Lewis Hamilton (three-places), here is what the Monaco Grand Prix starting grid looks like.
