A new Formula 1 feature is available in the Apple TV app.
Before the start of the season, the Formula 1 channel appeared in the Apple TV app – and you can’t edit, move or delete it.
Apple’s push for sports-related content continues. Following the success of the ‘F1’ movie and talk of a possible sequel, the iPhone maker has now updated the Apple TV app in preparation for the upcoming 2026 Formula 1 season.
As part of Apple’s partnership with Formula 1, all races will be available at no additional cost to Apple TV subscribers in the United States. Apple acquired the rights to Formula 1 content as early as October 2025 and now there is a Formula 1 channel in the Apple TV app.
For users of a streaming device or the Apple TV app on iPad or Mac, the new Formula 1 feature is located in the sidebar near the existing Major League Soccer tab. It’s odd that Apple didn’t turn the MLS tab into a “Sports” tab instead to align it with more of its initiatives, but separate tabs mean a more direct view for each sport.
iPhone users may see the new section advertised on the Home or Search tab. The Formula 1 representative cannot be edited, moved or deleted, meaning it is available to all Apple TV users running iOS 26 or later.
At the time of writing, the Formula 1 feature allows users to watch Albert Park circuit races from previous seasons. Additionally, it offers easy access to bonus content, pre-season videos and gives users the ability to pre-add races to their Apple TV Up Next.
It also shows the full schedule for the 2026 Formula 1 season, which starts on March 8 with the Melbourne Grand Prix.
