Most Bangkok sports bars subscribe to beIN/TrueVisions or international feeds and show every session live. They often open early for morning starts (Thailand is on ICT, UTC+7; many races are in Asia-Pacific or Europe, so times vary — e.g., Thailand GP opener: afternoon local; European races: late night/early morning).The 2026 calendar has 22 Grands Prix (starting March 1 in Thailand, ending November 22). Big races like the Thailand GP (Buriram, close to Bangkok — many fans travel) or European classics (e.g., Mugello, Assen) get packed crowds — arrive early!
