2026 Formula 1 Season Starts This Weekend, Available on Apple TV in the U.S.

After three days of computer announcements, Apple clears the palate. Via Newsroom:

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 U.S. 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.

The FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX 2026 airs Saturday, March 7, at 8 p.m. PT on Apple TV, with all sessions available to stream live and on demand. Fans can follow Formula 1 on Apple TV and explore an extensive collection of curated programming at apple.co/f1onappletv.

I dislike the all-cap yelling of the race name, repeated—in its entirety—three times in the press release. Also, three different brands, plus a country? I suppose I should be thankful no one tacked on “PRESENTED IN THE U.S. BY APPLE.”

F1 on Apple TV is available in the U.S. on the Apple TV app on iPhone; iPad; Apple TV 4K; Apple Vision Pro; Mac; popular smart TVs from Samsung, LG, Sony, VIZIO, TCL, and others; Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices; Chromecast with Google TV; PlayStation and Xbox gaming consoles; and at tv.apple.com, for $12.99 per month with a seven-day free trial for new subscribers.

I’ve never watched a single second of an F1 race, but seeing as I already pay for Apple TV, and I’m always looking for an excuse to charge my Vision Pro, that’ll probably change this weekend.
