A new dedicated Formula 1 channel has appeared in the Apple TV app starting today. Users in the United States can now see a dedicated Formula 1 item in the sidebar alongside existing Apple TV originals and MLS cards.
This channel is where Apple TV subscribers will be able to stream all the races, starting with the Melbourne Grand Prix on March 8. As a reminder, F1 is now included in the basic Apple TV subscription in the United States ($12.99 per month or $99 per year).
For the living room versions of the app, you’ll find a dedicated Formula 1 section in the sidebar. It’s available as a quick link in the header at tv.apple.com. On the iPhone, there is a channel shortcut F1 in the Search tab.
The Formula 1 room will feature quick links to previous and upcoming races and other content. For example, right now the channel is featuring some clips from historic races at the Albert Park circuit to help build excitement ahead of the Grand Prix on March 8.
Right now it shows the schedule for the upcoming weekends, such as practice times, qualifying and the Grand Prix to open the season.
Apple TV app users will be able to sample the sport for free, with free streaming of all training sessions throughout the season. Some (as yet unannounced) race weekends will also be available to watch entirely in front of the Apple TV paywall.
However, streaming all 24 races in the 2026 season requires an Apple TV subscription. This could be directly, through the Apple One bundle, as a free benefit of Apple Music’s student plan, through carrier promo packs, or in other ways.
An Apple TV subscription also includes access to the F1.TV premium package at no additional cost, available through the F1.TV app and website. You can learn how to link your accounts here.
Expect more details on further Apple-specific F1 production improvements in the coming weeks, ahead of the first race.
And remember, this is the start of a five-year partnership between Apple and F1 in the United States. If successful, you can expect Apple to be interested in striking similar broadcast deals in other regions around the world.
