F1 on Apple TV: Everything You Need to Know About Formula 1 Streaming (2025)

Formula 1 is racing into the digital age, and Apple is making major moves to become part of the action. With Apple TV and the upcoming Apple Sports app, watching F1 races is about to become smoother, smarter, and more immersive than ever. If you’re a racing fan wondering how to stream F1 on Apple TV, this guide covers everything you need to know — from current streaming options to Apple’s rumored partnership with Formula 1.

🏎️ Can You Watch Formula 1 on Apple TV?

Yes — you can watch Formula 1 races on Apple TV by streaming through official sports channels and apps available on the Apple TV platform. While Apple doesn’t currently have exclusive rights to F1, it supports multiple services that broadcast live Formula 1 coverage, including:

• F1 TV Pro — The official Formula 1 streaming service offering live races, onboard cameras, and replays.
• ESPN — For U.S. viewers, ESPN broadcasts all Formula 1 races and qualifying sessions.
• Sky Sports F1 — Exclusive F1 coverage for UK and European audiences.
• Apple TV+ — Hosts exclusive motorsport documentaries and sports content.

You can install these apps directly on your Apple TV or use AirPlay to stream from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

📱 The Apple Sports App (Coming Soon)

Apple is reportedly developing a unified Apple Sports app that brings live scores, highlights, and subscription-based live streaming into one platform. The company already broadcasts Major League Soccer (MLS) and is rumored to be in talks with Formula 1 to acquire partial streaming rights for select races.

According to industry sources, Apple could integrate F1 content through:

• Live race coverage with multi-camera viewing options.
• Exclusive documentaries and behind-the-scenes series (like the rumored Lewis Hamilton–Brad Pitt F1 movie).
• Interactive stats, lap times, and real-time leaderboards during live events.

💡 How to Stream F1 on Apple TV Right Now

If you want to watch live F1 races in 2025 using your Apple TV device, here’s how:

1. Install the F1 TV app from the Apple TV App Store.
2. Log in with your F1 TV Pro subscription.
3. Choose your race or highlight video — you can even access past seasons and driver onboard cameras.

Alternatively, if you have an ESPN+ or Sky Sports subscription, use those apps directly on Apple TV or through AirPlay from your iPhone/iPad.

💰 F1 TV Pro Subscription Details

F1 TV Pro pricing varies by region but typically costs around $9.99/month or $79.99/year. Subscribers get:

• Live streaming of every F1, F2, F3, and Porsche Supercup session.
• Multiple onboard camera angles.
• Historic race archives.
• Commentary from Sky Sports F1 commentators.

🍏 Apple’s Growing Interest in Formula 1

Apple has been eyeing sports broadcasting for years. After securing exclusive rights to MLS and producing the Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt, Apple’s partnership with Formula 1 seems inevitable. Insiders suggest that Apple could bid for a global streaming license when F1’s current contracts with ESPN and Sky expire around 2029–2030.

This would mean F1 races could become part of an Apple One bundle or be offered via the Apple Sports app.
