Apple TV took over the broadcasting rights in the U.S. on a multiyear deal starting in the 2026 season.
“F1 is a rapidly growing force in sports and culture in the U.S., and by bringing F1 on Apple TV live to IMAX theatres nationwide, we’re delivering the energy and excitement to even more screens in a truly immersive way,” Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of music, sports, and Beats, told Motorsports.com.
This wouldn’t be the first time the sport hit the big screen.
Apple and IMAX’s announcement comes just shy of a year after the success of “F1: The Movie,” which starred Brad Pitt and Damson Idris. The movie was produced, in part, by Apple Studios.
“F1 The Movie” debuted on June 27, 2025, with $55.6 million in North American theaters and $144 million globally over the weekend, which handed the tech company its biggest opening yet. It ended up grossing more than $630 million at the global box office during its theatrical run, according to estimates.
