Apple TV subscribers can now access Formula 1 racing through the F1TV app by linking their Apple account. This follows Apple's exclusive broadcasting deal for F1 in the United States from 2026 to 2030. Users with existing F1TV subscriptions should cancel their duplicate plan after linking to Apple TV to avoid double charges.

For new subscribers, creating an F1TV account through Apple is straightforward. Those without Apple TV can still watch select races and practice sessions throughout the season. The integration allows access to every practice, qualifying session, sprint, and Grand Prix weekend, though Apple hasn't detailed which features will be available directly through the Apple TV app versus the dedicated F1TV app.

F1TV typically offers advanced features like multi-view, onboard cameras, live team radios, and real-time telemetry data. With the first race of the 2026 season starting March 7 in Australia, fans can currently watch preseason testing in Bahrain this week and next. The rollout comes as Apple prepares to become the exclusive U.S. broadcaster of Formula 1, marking a significant expansion of its sports streaming portfolio.
