How to get F1TV with your Apple TV subscription

Last year Apple to broadcast Formula 1 racing in the United States from 2026 to 2030. Apple TV subscribers can now watch every practice and qualifying session as well as every sprint and Grand Prix of a race weekend on the F1TV app by linking their Apple account.

Right now, those with an existing F1TV subscription will still see an active status in their “my subscription” page on desktop that shows the plan’s renewal date. However, after logging in via Apple with an Apple TV subscription, a second active F1TV subscription appears with an Apple TV logo and the label “Official U.S. broadcaster of Formula 1.” Users are advised to cancel the duplicate subscription they had directly with F1TV, which can be done in the F1TV app.

For those that don’t have an existing F1TV account, simply using your Apple account. Users who don’t pay for Apple TV “select races” and practice sessions throughout the season.

Apple has yet to release precise details on what content will be viewable from within the Apple TV app compared to the F1TV app, where users are accustomed to features like multi-view, onboard cameras, live team radios and live timing and telemetry. With the first race of the F1 season kicking off March 7 in Australia, we should have these answers soon.

Fans can currently check out preseason testing taking place in Bahrain this week and next through the F1TV app.
