The 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship begins this weekend on Apple TV with the FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2026. As the new exclusive American home of Formula 1, Apple TV is the place to watch every Grand Prix live and on demand — including all practice, qualifying, and Sprint sessions, along with races — all season long.

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, in a statement. “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.” The Best Way to Watch Formula 1 in AmericaViewers 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.
