Apple will stream the 2026 Crypto.com Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix live on Apple TV with full coverage of the race weekend available across the United States.
Apple TV will broadcast every session, including practice, qualifying and the race, with live and on-demand access via the Apple TV app. Coverage includes up to 30 simultaneous live streams with onboard cameras, timing data and a Driver Tracker that displays the entire field in real time.
A dedicated Podium stream follows the top three drivers throughout each session. Multiview allows viewers to create custom layouts or select predefined viewing options on supported devices.
The race will also go beyond the main stream with large-scale public broadcast options. IMAX theaters in more than 50 locations will broadcast the Miami Grand Prix live, and a public screening in Times Square will bring the race into a shared setting.
Apple Aventura will host a full day of programming on May 1 with stadium-style seating for practice and sprint qualifying, a live Apple Music set from Dimelo Flow, and an Apple Books talk with Susie Wolff related to her memoir.
Apple extends Formula 1 coverage to its entire ecosystem
Apple is integrating the Miami Grand Prix into several services to extend the experience beyond the race itself. Apple News will provide live updates, rankings and highlights, as well as direct access to the Apple TV feed.
Next, Apple Maps will offer a detailed view of the circuit with turn numbers, grandstands and 3D landmarks, as well as navigation tools for fans attending the event.
Apple Music will support the race weekend with curated playlists, DJ mixes and driver-created content designed to keep users engaged outside of the broadcast. The integration positions Formula 1 as a shared experience across Apple apps and services rather than a single stream on Apple TV.
Apple uses the Miami Grand Prix to test its live sports model
Apple is adding new programming to frame its Formula 1 coverage. “Circuits in Focus” will feature Nico Rosberg and Emelia Hartford breaking down each track and explaining strategy using simulation tools.
The series gives viewers a clearer view of how drivers approach each circuit.
When to watch Formula 1 on Apple TV
“The POV” will recap the major post-race moments with analysis from former Red Bull Racing technician Calum Nicholas and engineer Christina Roki. The show combines technical knowledge with a creator-led approach that matches how fans actually follow sports online.
Apple is using the Miami Grand Prix to promote a live sports strategy built around software, control and ecosystem integration. The company delivers a visual experience shaped by data and personalization rather than a traditional broadcast feed.
This strategy is part of Apple’s desire to develop subscription services and maintain users within its ecosystem. Formula 1 offers a solid test with fans who already expect live data and multiple camera angles.
Access to the stream requires an Apple TV subscription priced at $12.99 per month, with a seven-day free trial and limited device deals including three months of access. The paywall could influence how quickly new viewers adopt Apple TV for live sports.
