Apple will stream the Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2026 live on Apple TV with full race weekend coverage available across the United States.
Apple TV will carry every session, including practice, qualifying, and the race, with live and on-demand access through the Apple TV app. Coverage includes up to 30 simultaneous live feeds with onboard cameras, timing data, and a Driver Tracker that shows the full field in real time.
A dedicated Podium feed follows the top three drivers throughout each session. Multiview lets viewers build custom layouts or select preset viewing options across supported devices.
The race will also move beyond the core stream with large-scale public viewing options. IMAX theaters in more than 50 locations will show 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 tied to her memoir.
Apple spreads Formula 1 coverage across its ecosystem
Apple is integrating the Miami Grand Prix across several services to extend the experience beyond the race itself. Apple News will provide live updates, standings, and highlights, along with direct access to the Apple TV stream.
Next, Apple Maps will offer a detailed circuit view with turn numbers, grandstands, and 3D landmarks, along with navigation tools for fans attending the event.
Apple Music will support race weekend with curated playlists, DJ mixes, and driver-created content designed to keep users engaged outside the broadcast. The integration positions Formula 1 as a shared experience across Apple’s apps and services rather than a single stream in Apple TV.
Apple is using 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 as they break down each track and explain strategy using simulation tools.
The series gives viewers a clearer view into how drivers approach each circuit.
When to watch Formula 1 on Apple TV
“The POV” will recap major moments after the race with analysis from former Red Bull Racing technician Calum Nicholas and engineer Christina Roki. The show mixes technical insight with a creator-led approach that matches how fans actually follow sports online.
Apple is using the Miami Grand Prix to push a live sports strategy built around software, control, and ecosystem integration. The company is offering a viewing experience shaped by data and customization rather than a traditional broadcast feed.
The strategy fits Apple’s push to grow subscription services and keep people inside its ecosystem. Formula 1 offers a strong test case 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 offers that include three months of access. The paywall could influence how quickly new viewers adopt Apple TV for live sports.
