How to Watch Formula 1 on Kodi Live
How to watch Formula 1 on Kodi 17.3 Krypton? The 2019 F1 season kicks off on March, 17th, 2019 and rounds up its final lap on December 1st, 2019. You’re here because you have Kodi and would like to stream F1 2019 using it. Well, you came to the right place. In this tutorial, I will show you how you can stream Formula 1 live on Kodi. Just follow the instructions carefully and you’ll be a-okay.
Formula 1 on Kodi? Enter ESPN Add-on
Formula 1 has a new home after NBC Sports handed over the broadcasting rights to ESPN. Now, along with other major sporting events, the racing phenomenon is on the ESPN screen for a while in the near future.
In case you didn’t know, Kodi users can watch the full Formula 1 2019 season live on their platform? How? Well, it’s the ESPN3 add-on of course. Let me show you what you need to do:
- First, activate your Kodi application and head over to Add-ons.
- After that, select the package installer on the top left side of your screen.
- Now, click on Install from Repostory followed by Kodi Add-on Repository.
- Choose Video Add-ons and navigate through the list until you find ESPN3.
- Hit Install.
- Wait for the download to finish. You’ll be notified.
- Finally, head back to your Home Screen.
- You’ll find ESPN’s Add-on over there.
- Enjoy Formula 1 anywhere in the world.
Watch ESPN on Kodi outside the USA
By the way, there’s an important thing you should know before you proceed. The add-on only operates in the United States. Just like ESPN’s streaming service, when you try to access ESPN3’s add-on, it will examine your IP address before it allows you to stream its content.
If your traffic is not coming from the US, i.e, you don’t have an American IP address, you’re certainly not getting in. That’s why in order to get the channel outside the US, you need to fake your location and appear to be browsing in the United States.
Luckily, a VPN can do exactly that with a push of a button. You see, a VPN allows you to switch your location by connecting to a server in a country of your choosing. Once you’re connected, you’ll appear to be as if you’re accessing the internet from that country where the server is based.
So, summing up, all you have to do is connect to a US server. This will give you an American IP address and direct access to ESPN3’s Kodi Add-on.
The Steps:
Here’s exactly what you need to do:
- If you have not signed up with a VPN provider yet, head over to ExpressVPN.
- Once done, download the VPN app to your PC, Mac, or Android TV Box. Linux is also supported.
- Launch the VPN application and connect to an American VPN server.
- Check if your connection took place by visiting this IP Tool.
- Launch the ESPN3 add-on on your Kodi.
- There you have it, you can now stream Formula 1 2019 live wherever you are on Kodi.
ExpressVPN are the best in the business when it comes to watching American streaming channels on Kodi.
You could also use any of the respectable VPN providers in the list below to watch ESPN on Kodi outside the USA.

nbc validation cant be done, it asks for a provider and code i only have the code from kodi
keeps saying enter valid code
Same here. Every time I try and setup an addon that’s got geoblocking, I get asked to select a provider which I don’t have. VPN doesn’t help.
Thanks for the info. However, the addons can be overwhelming themselves.
Any particular channel within the addons that allow viewers to access F1 live streams?
Hello. I am following the instructions for Kodi 17. I am using it on my Macbook Pro. I get to Step 12 and choose MK Repo but there’s no zip file. I entered http://kodi.metalkettle.co/ without the quote marks. Can you help?
Hi Wallace. I’ve updated the setup guide. Try the new steps.
Thank you so much for your help. I had UK Turk working earlier today, but when I tried to launch it tonight it keeps saying UK Turk Playlists Error. Check the log for more information. What happened?
Hello.
I have been trying to install the Krypton version for a while now and it always says cannot add it as not connected to network. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?
PLEASE
I loaded all and when I click a link under Sky Sports F1 nothing happens. Also can’t watch Netflix with VPN on.
Thanks
Hello Grant. Try using the Sportsdevil addon to watch Formula 1 on Kodi 17 Krypton instead https://thevpn.guru/install-sportsdevil-kodi-addon-krypton-17
Thank you, I’ll try it on the next F1 race.
Hi, I have followed your directions but when I click on Sky Sports F1 another box pops up that has many rows of the word LINK. Doesn’t matter which one I click on, nothing happens. I see a note at the top to install Sportsdevil so I did….still nothing happens. Where to go from here? Thanks for the great info!
Hey Lola. Try a different F1 streaming channel such as BeIN Sports from the list.
Hey, thanks for the help. How do I access that? Is it something else I have to install, like sportsdevil? :)
I live in a place that we share the internet. I do have my own router which is wired to another router that people use for wifi. Is it possible to change the vpn?
Hey Phil. You can either setup VPN on your secondary router, if it is VPN compatible, or install the VPN app directly on your streaming device.
