Apple reveal details of F1 integration on Apple TV, Apple Maps, Apple News and more

Apple TV subscribers in the US will be able to watch all practice, Qualifying, Sprint sessions and Grands Prix across the 2026 season, starting with this weekend’s action in Australia.

As the new exclusive US home of Formula 1, Apple TV is the place for US fans to watch every Grand Prix live and on demand, all season long.

Fans can follow Formula 1 on Apple TV and explore an extensive collection of curated programming at apple.co/f1onappletv.

“This weekend marks the start of a new era for Formula 1 fans in the US,” said Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services. “We’re excited to bring every moment of the season to Apple TV, delivering an immersive experience designed entirely around fans. Formula 1’s growth in America has been extraordinary, and we’re proud to build on that momentum – combining the power of Apple TV with the broader Apple ecosystem to create even more ways for fans to connect with the sport.”

“As we begin this exciting chapter for our sport with new teams, cars, engines, and drivers, it is the perfect time to welcome Apple as our broadcaster in the United States,” said Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1’s President and CEO.

“We have an important journey ahead of us, one we’ll share in a country where the passion for F1 continues to grow with extraordinary energy. We are two global brands with the same ambition: to always strive for excellence, to boldly innovate, and to deliver thrilling experiences. I am sure our American fans will appreciate not only the intensity and spectacle of our races, but also the quality and coverage they’ll have available. Throughout the season, they’ll be able to experience every moment on Apple TV, feeling even closer to the action, the teams, and the protagonists of this unique sport.”

Viewers tuning in to F1 will enjoy a true front-row experience, with comprehensive coverage and analysis, expansive programming, and every Grand Prix with 5.1 surround sound – and, for the first time ever for F1 viewers, in stunning 4K with Dolby Vision.

Coverage of every Grand Prix will feature English and Spanish commentary, along with access to up to 30 additional live feeds across all sessions. These include Driver Tracker for a bird’s-eye view of the race; real-time telemetry and timing; a mixed onboard feed that automatically switches between onboard cameras as the race unfolds; and podium feeds that dynamically follow the drivers running in P1, P2, and P3 throughout.

Viewers can follow every moment of the race with a Multiview experience, watching up to four live feeds at once. They can easily get started with a one-tap, preconfigured Multiview layout for every team, or if they prefer even more personalisation, they can customise their own Multiview and choose which feeds they’d like to follow.

Viewers will also have access to Sky Sports broadcasts, providing another way to enjoy every race weekend.

Never Miss a Beat with Formula 1 on Apple TV

Apple TV subscribers can explore curated collections of programming covering everything they need to know heading into the 2026 season, including rule changes, new cars, team updates, the full race calendar, and the most exciting moments from last season. If they miss a session, they can catch up anytime with full replays, highlights, and Race in 30 – all spoiler-free.

F1 TV Premium – Formula 1’s premier direct-to-consumer offering – remains available exclusively in the US through Apple TV and is included at no additional cost for subscribers. On Apple TV, iPad, and iPhone, subscribers can also access Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 ACADEMY, and Porsche Supercup events through the F1 TV app using their Apple TV subscription.

Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive comes to Apple TV in the US

For the first time, Formula 1: Drive to Survive will be available to stream on both Netflix and Apple TV, as Season 8 takes viewers through the thrills, shake-ups, and triumphs of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship.

Whether the viewer is a casual fan who fell in love with Formula 1 through Drive to Survive or a die-hard enthusiast tuning in to each race weekend throughout the year, they’ll find even more ways to engage with the sport through this collaboration between Apple TV and Netflix. Released just last week ahead of the 2026 F1 season, this latest chapter gives fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the 2025 campaign – a year that saw plenty of action unfold both on and off the track.

Drive to Survive will be available for US fans to enjoy with an Apple TV subscription throughout the entire season. Additionally, the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix, beginning May 22, will stream on Apple TV and Netflix in the US.
