Where to watch Formula 1 in 2026: Full TV guide for the UK and US

On the second Sunday of March, the 2026 Formula 1 season is set to begin in Melbourne, Australia.

In the United Kingdom, Sky Sports remains the home of Formula 1 in the 2026 season as well. The channel will broadcast every session live from Australia to Abu Dhabi.

In addition, there is a free-to-air option in the United Kingdom as well. On demand, Channel 4 will air highlights from qualifying and the race hours after the conclusion of the sessions.

Sky Sports will also continue to broadcast Formula 1 in Germany and Italy.

One of the biggest announcements in 2025 concerned Apple's multimillion-dollar deal to broadcast Formula 1 races on its streaming platform. With an Apple TV subscription, anyone in the United States will be able to watch every session live.

F1 TV is NOT available in various countries where broadcasters have exclusive rights. This includes countries where Sky Sports holds the broadcasting rights, or for example Spain, where the rights belong to DAZN. In other countries, F1 TV is an alternative to the country's regular broadcaster.

While we are not able to broadcast Grands Prix, GPblog's liveblog will keep you up to date with every session this season.
