The Miami Grand Prix is set for May 3, 2026, at 4 p.m. ET. This event marks a significant change as Formula 1 races will now stream exclusively on Apple TV in the U.S.
Previously, F1 races aired on ESPN and ESPN2. Fans will need an Apple TV subscription or F1 TV Premium to watch live races.
Key details:
- The Miami Grand Prix is the first race on U.S. soil for the 2026 season.
- F1 TV Premium, included with an Apple TV subscription, allows streaming of every F1 race live, including practices and qualifying.
- Fans can access practice sessions and qualifying races via the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub.
Apple TV offers a seven-day free trial for new subscribers. After that, subscriptions cost $12.99 per month. Additionally, new device purchases may grant three months of free access.
Officials have not confirmed how this change will affect viewership numbers or fan engagement. However, it is anticipated that this shift could attract a new audience to Formula 1.
F1 TV is also home to post-race live shows, analysis, documentaries, and the official F1 archive. This could enhance the viewing experience for dedicated fans.
