The implications of Apple TV’s new deal with F1 go far beyond US broadcast rights
The Apple deal for Formula 1’s broadcast rights in the US could be a game-changer and reshape how fans experience the sport in the future.
Unlike the traditional focus on live race viewership, this deal aims to provide F1 content to a wider audience in various formats and at their convenience.
Although Apple plans to start with the regular international broadcast feed in 2026, there’s potential for innovative changes to the coverage in the following years.
The agreement also ensures the continuation of the F1 TV platform, which will be free for Apple TV subscribers from 2026, offering a good deal compared to other viewing options.
While immediate changes may be limited, the partnership between Apple and F1 opens the door for future developments that could revolutionize how we consume and engage with the sport.
