Beginning with the U.S. Grand Prix weekend on Friday, October 23, Apple TV will offer Formula 1 coverage in Dolby Atmos on supported devices. Apple and Dolby Laboratories announced a new partnership to bring Dolby Atmos to Apple TV’s live Formula 1 coverage, starting with the U.S. Grand Prix weekend, which begins October 23 in Austin, Texas. Apple says Dolby Atmos will join “Dolby Vision to deliver an even more immersive viewing experience,” putting “fans at the heart of the action, surrounding them with the energy, drama, and emotion of Formula 1.”From team radio communications and race commentary to the roar of the engines, on-track battles, and the intensity of the pit lane, Dolby Atmos brings the unmistakable sounds that define the sport to life.
Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Apple Music and International Content at Apple, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to make Formula 1 on Apple TV even better for fans. [...] The sound of Formula 1 is such an important part of what makes the sport so exciting, and with Dolby Atmos joining Dolby Vision, fans can experience the energy and intensity of every Grand Prix in a whole new way.”Apple TV’s streaming rights for Formula 1 still include only the U.S., but don’t require an extra subscription on top of the Apple TV subscription. Apple secured the U.S. streaming rights to Formula 1 in 2025 as part of a five-year deal beginning with the 2026 season.
