|F1’s Crackdown on Multi-Streaming and Introduction of “Premium” Plan
|2025
|For years, subscribers to ''F1TV Pro'', the highest-tier subscription, enjoyed flexible access to live streams of Formula 1 content, with some fans using a third-party mod (''Multiviewer for F1'') to watch multiple onboards or feeds simultaneously. This feature wasn’t officially supported, but it became popular among dedicated fans who wanted a more immersive race experience.
|At the start of the 2025 Formula 1 season, F1TV restricted concurrent streams on ''F1TV Pro'', effectively blocking fans from using the multiviewer workaround. At the same time, F1TV launched a new, more expensive tier called ''F1TV Premium'', which included “official” multiviewer functionality (up to 4 feeds at once) alongside a few extra perks. Fans saw this move as artificially limiting features they previously enjoyed, then repackaging them behind a new paywall.

At the start of the 2025 formula 1 season f1tv started limiting the amount of concurrent streams you could watch with F1TV pro (highest subscription plan in 2024). There is a "mod" that would let you watch multiple screens at once (mod is multiviewer for F1). At the start of the 2025 season F1TV implemented a new highest plan called F1TV premium, which would allow you to watch up to 4 streams at once on 1 screen (basically a multiviewer) and other included features.
