**Apple TV Unveils Dedicated Formula 1 Channel**
The Apple TV app has rolled out a specific channel for Formula 1, now available for users in the United States starting today. This new addition enables subscribers to effortlessly access Formula 1 content alongside the current Apple TV originals and MLS tabs found in the app’s sidebar.
Subscribers can watch all Formula 1 races, kicking off with the Melbourne Grand Prix on March 8. Importantly, Formula 1 is part of the standard Apple TV subscription, which is priced at $12.99 per month or $99 annually.
For users accessing the app on various devices, the dedicated Formula 1 area can be located in the sidebar on living room versions of the app, as a quick link in the header on tv.apple.com, and through a shortcut in the Search tab on iPhone. The Formula 1 channel will provide quick links to both past and future race sessions, along with additional content. Currently, it features clips from historic races at the Albert Park circuit to enhance anticipation for the upcoming Grand Prix.
The channel also highlights the weekend itinerary, specifying the timings for practice, qualifying, and the Grand Prix for the season opener. Apple TV app users can enjoy the sport for free, as all practice sessions throughout the season will be broadcast at no charge. Moreover, select race weekends will be accessible for viewing without a subscription.
To watch all 24 races during the 2026 season, an Apple TV subscription will be necessary. This can be purchased directly, through the Apple One bundle, as a complimentary benefit of the Apple Music Student Plan, or via carrier bundle promotions. An Apple TV subscription also offers access to the F1.TV premium package at no additional cost, which can be accessed through the F1.TV app and website.
Further information regarding Apple-specific F1 production advancements is anticipated in the coming weeks, prior to the first race. This launch signifies the start of a five-year collaboration between Apple and Formula 1 in the United States, with the possibility of similar broadcasting agreements in other international markets if successful.
