As stated, “Apple TV is the exclusive U.S. home for every practice, qualifying, sprint and race, including, of course, the Australian GP.”
New subscribers can take advantage of a 7-day free trial offered by Apple TV, allowing fans to experience the season opener without any immediate cost. After the trial period, the subscription will cost $12.99 per month.
Additionally, Apple TV can also be accessed via Prime Video, which offers the same 7-day free trial for new users. This provides another avenue for fans to watch the races.
The 2026 Australian Grand Prix will be streamed in 4K with Dolby Vision and 5.1 surround sound, enhancing the viewing experience for motorsport enthusiasts.
This season marks the 77th edition of the championship and introduces new regulations, including smaller, lighter cars and a 50/50 power split between internal combustion and electric energy. As noted, “The 2026 F1 season begins with new financial, power unit, aerodynamic, geometric, and safety regulations for every car and team.”
As the season approaches, fans are eager to see how these changes will impact the competition and the viewing experience. Details remain unconfirmed regarding additional broadcasting options or potential changes to the streaming service.
