How to watch the FIA Formula E Championship for free
The good news is that these countries are offering free streaming of the London ePrix:
Belgium — RTBF (free with French commentary)
UK — Channel 4 (free with English commentary)
The problem with RTBF and Channel 4 is that they are only available from Belgium and the UK respectively. That is unless you're using a VPN.
With a VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in another country, meaning you can access sites like RTBF and Channel 4 from anywhere in the world. This process might sound complicated, but it's actually really straightforward:
Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN)
Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)
Open up the app and connect to a server in Belgium or the UK
Visit RTBF or Channel 4
