Telemetry setup

How to enable UDP telemetry in F1 24, 25 & 26

The EA/Codemasters F1 game can stream its data live over your network — that's how every telemetry app (Pacedex included) reads your laps. It's off by default. Here's how to switch it on in under a minute, with the right settings.

1

Open the telemetry settings

In the game, go to SettingsTelemetry Settings (in F1 25/26 it's under Settings → Telemetry).

2

Turn on UDP Telemetry and set the port

Switch UDP Telemetry to On and leave the UDP Port at 20777 (the default every app expects). Set UDP Format to your game's year.

Set the send rate (and broadcast)

Set UDP Send Rate to 60 Hz for the smoothest data. Leave UDP Broadcast Mode Off when the app runs on the same PC as the game — which is the normal Pacedex setup.

On PS5 or Xbox: point it at your PC

Playing on console? The app still runs on your PC. Set UDP Broadcast Mode to On, or set UDP IP Address to your PC's local IP (e.g. 192.168.x.x) so the data reaches it. On PC you can skip this.

5

Open your telemetry app and drive

That's it — the game is now broadcasting. Open Pacedex, jump into a session, and your dashboard and overlay go live automatically. No extra config.

🛠️No data showing up? 99% of the time it's one of three things: the port isn't 20777, the UDP Format doesn't match your game, or (on console) the PC IP is wrong. Check those first, and make sure your firewall isn't blocking the app.
