F1’s Biggest Launch Show Hits London at 8:45 PM!

Formula 1’s historic 75th-anniversary launch brings all 10 teams together tonight in London. Here’s how to watch the spectacle live in France!

The unveiling of the new Formula 1 liveries is set for tonight.

Following the presentations—including special liveries for the Williams FW47 and McLaren MCL39, as well as the leaked Haas VF-25 at Silverstone—an entirely new official show will take place.

For the very first time, all 10 teams, their drivers, and team principals will gather with fans to reveal their 2025 liveries, marking the start of Formula 1’s 75th anniversary year.

The F1 75 Live season launch event will be held at London’s O2 Arena on the evening of February 18, starting at 8:45 PM. Each team will have seven minutes to present, often with past cars sporting new colors, and in some cases (as expected) with their new 2025 F1 challengers.

While 15,000 fans inside the arena will witness the spectacle up close, those at home won’t miss out either, as Formula 1 broadcasters worldwide have confirmed they will air the event live.

This includes Sky Sport F1, where it will be shown on F1Pro tv. The show will also be streamed for free on Formula 1’s social media channels, including YouTube.
