The Monaco Grand Prix broadcast on ABC this Sunday morning received the largest live U.S. TV audience ever for the iconic event, with an average of 1.965 million viewers. The peak viewership of 2.3 million was seen between 11:15-11:30am ET. This audience figure ranks as the third-highest for a live Formula 1 telecast in the U.S., trailing only the 2024 and 2022 Miami Grand Prix races. Despite a 45-minute delay caused by a major crash on the first lap, viewership from 9-11:30am increased by seven percent compared to the 2023 Monaco Grand Prix. The race garnered an average of 2.07 million viewers from the resumption at 9:45am until its conclusion. Next up, Formula 1 heads to North America for the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on Sunday, June 9, which will be aired live on ABC at 1:55pm ET.
