Netflix to Stream First Live F1 Race in Apple TV Partnership

Netflix and Apple TV are teaming up to bring Formula 1 racing to American audiences in an exciting new way this year. Apple TV has landed the rights to broadcast F1 races in the United States, and they are making a big push to draw in fans. As part of the deal, they’ve struck an agreement with Netflix that benefits both streaming services.

This season, Apple TV will be streaming Netflix’s “Drive to Survive” series to US viewers. In return, Netflix will be airing live coverage of the Canadian Grand Prix in May for American audiences to enjoy. The two companies are working together to bring exciting F1 content to fans in the US, aiming to broaden the reach of the sport and engage both new and existing viewers.

Apple TV is taking their F1 coverage to the next level for subscribers. Their streaming service will provide fans with a cutting-edge experience, offering prime access to live race action. Fans can look forward to a dynamic hub packed with race highlights, video extras, and the option to view up to four feeds at once. In addition to the standard driver tracker and data channel, there will be exclusive features like “podium channels” that automatically follow the top three drivers’ on-board cameras, as well as team-specific channels with access to team radio feeds.

Apple TV is stepping up its game to deliver an unprecedented F1 viewing experience for American fans. The multi-view options and in-depth coverage promise to keep viewers engaged and excited throughout the season. According to Ian Holmes, F1’s chief media rights and broadcast officer, this new offering from Apple TV will be a game-changer for US F1 enthusiasts.

While most races will be exclusive to Apple TV subscribers, some events will be available for free viewing. The Canadian Grand Prix will be shown on Netflix, and streaming service Tubi has also secured the rights to broadcast select races. With Apple TV and Netflix working together, Formula 1 fans in the United States can expect an all-new, immersive viewing experience that offers unprecedented access to their favorite sport.
