DPG Media took over Viaplay’s Dutch operations on 30 October, but existing subscriptions, prices and apps remain unchanged for now. Viaplay remains the Netherlands’ sole broadcaster of Formula 1 races through 2029.

Viaplay Netherlands staff will move to Videoland, and DPG says it will also bring Viaplay’s sports offering to the streaming platform. Sport will remain a separate offer alongside regular Videoland subscriptions: existing customers will not automatically pay more, and new customers can still subscribe to Viaplay.

The longer-term effect on how Dutch viewers will access F1 is still unclear. DPG expects to provide more detail on its plans during 2027.
