The race has been exclusively shown live on Sky since 2013, after previous broadcasters BBC elected not to have it part of its package of events when it began sharing coverage. Channel 4 also did not show it last year.
However, with Channel 4 and Sky announcing on Thursday how their live races will be divided in 2017, Monaco will no longer be an exclusive live event for Sky.
The other changes from last year are that Singapore and the United States Grand Prix will be broadcast live on Channel 4, with the network having dropped immediate coverage of Spain, Hungary, Italy and Mexico.
Channel 4's first live race will be the Bahrain Grand Prix on April 16, with Sky showing the season opening Australian and Chinese Grands Prix live.
Sky's coverage this year will be shown in Ultra HD for the first time.
The races will be divided up live as below, with Channel 4 showing delayed highlights of the 10 races it is not broadcasting live.
