How to get F1TV with your Apple TV subscription
Source: Engadget
Background
Last year Apple secured the exclusive rights 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.
Accessing F1TV with an Apple TV Subscription
- Existing F1TV subscribers – On the desktop “My subscription” page you’ll still see your current F1TV plan and its renewal date. After logging in via Apple with an Apple TV subscription, a second active F1TV subscription appears, marked with an Apple TV logo and the label “Official U.S. broadcaster of Formula 1.”
- What to do: Cancel the duplicate subscription you hold directly with F1TV. This can be done from within the F1TV app.
For Users Without an Existing F1TV Account
- Create a new F1TV account.
- Activate it using your Apple account.
Users who do not pay for Apple TV can still view “select races” and practice sessions throughout the season.
Content Availability
Apple has not yet released precise details on which features will be available inside the Apple TV app versus the standalone F1TV app. The F1TV app currently offers:
- Multi‑view
- Onboard cameras
- Live team radios
- Live timing and telemetry
We expect answers on feature parity as the 2024 season progresses. The first race kicks off on March 7 in Australia.
Current Coverage
Fans can currently watch preseason testing taking place in Bahrain this week and next through the F1TV app.
