Apple TV unveils exciting new plans for Formula 1’s US audience

More specifically, fans will be able to watch the Miami, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza and Austin Grands Prix, enjoying a fully immersive, cinema-style audio and visual experience as if they were watching a film.

The IMAX screenings will start with the Miami Grand Prix on May 3, before moving to Monaco on June 7 and Silverstone on July 5. After the summer break, fans will be able to watch the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 6, with the United States Grand Prix in Austin closing the run on October 25.

Tickets for the upcoming Florida round will go on sale from April 10.

From 2026 onwards, Formula 1 secured a new exclusive home in the United States, with Apple TV taking over the rights to broadcast the championship.

The platform guarantees coverage of every session, including races, qualifying and practice, alongside additional features such as onboard cameras, team radio and extra feeds, marking a major shift away from ESPN, which had carried F1 coverage up to 2025.

The Cupertino-based tech giant was also actively involved in the production of F1: The Movie, marking a clear intent to establish an increasingly strong presence in the world of Formula 1.

F1: The Movie director Joseph Kosinski has revealed that early discussions are already underway over a potential follow-up to the record-smashing Brad Pitt blockbuster, with initial ideas centred on where Sonny Hayes’ story and the APXGP team could head next.

The film’s strong global reception has only accelerated those talks, with Kosinski open to returning after enjoying the experience of making the first instalment.

Behind the scenes, Apple CEO Tim Cook has also confirmed that conversations are ongoing, pointing to the film’s success as a major summer hit. He praised the level of talent involved, singling out Pitt’s performance, while stressing Apple’s pride in the project and its intention to build on that momentum.
