A trip to the beach means one thing, if it's on the coast of the North Sea: rain. 11 races in, we've not had a wet-weather session all season, but downpours are being forecasted for each and every day of the Dutch Grand Prix. Given that this is the first race weekend in a month and it incorporates a Sprint, we're expecting chaos.

Dutch Grand Prix 2026 Preview
Having been reeled in by Lewis Hamilton, championship leader Kimi Antonelli had just started to pull away again ahead of the summer shutdown. The 19-year-old is 50 points clear of the seven-time champion, with George Russell a further nine points behind and Charles Leclerc and Lando Norris quietly gaining ground.
Max Verstappen has dominated his home race, winning three of five editions since it returned to the calendar in 2021. The Dutchman has made four podiums without winning a race this term, but with this set to be the final Dutch Grand Prix for the foreseeable future, he's going to be desperate to bid farewell to those exagerrated banks in style.
Each of the past two editions of the race, however, were won by McLaren drivers – Lando Norris in 2024 and Oscar Piastri 12 months ago. The first part of a major upgrade package helped steer Norris to his first victory of the season last time out, and a second part is set to follow this weekend.
The reigning champion doesn't however, have the best track record in the rain.
Below we'll show you how to watch Dutch Grand Prix live streams from anywhere in the world.
Watch Dutch Grand Prix 2026 live from anywhere

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a straightforward but powerful app that lets you alter your virtual location and thus unblock any Dutch GP stream – including the free coverage in the Netherlands, Austria, Luxembourg and Belgium.
NordVPN is our pick of the best VPN services. It's affordable, fast, stable and easy to use. Try it risk-free for 30 days and see for yourself.
How to use a VPN for any Dutch GP live stream
1. Sign up to the VPN of your choice. NordVPN is the one we recommend.
