United States Grand Prix: Where to watch the Formula 1 race, schedule, how to stream and more
F1 is back in the U.S., but if you're watching from home, cable won't help this year.
The 18th race of the Formula 1 season will be the United States Grand Prix, held this weekend at Circuit of the Americas in Austin. Max Verstappen took the win at the 2025 race — can he do it again in 2026? Practice and qualifying races will be on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 23-24, with the Grand Prix taking place Sunday, Oct. 25, at 4 p.m. ET.
If you're tuning in from home, you should know that this year, F1 is streaming exclusively on Apple TV in the U.S. So if you want to catch this weekend's race live, you'll need access to Apple TV (or F1 TV Premium , now free with an Apple TV subscription). In addition to watching on Apple TV, you can tune into F1 practice sessions and qualifying races via the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub .
Here's everything you need to know about this weekend's F1 United States Grand Prix, including how to watch on Apple TV, and check out the full 2026 F1 Grand Prix schedule.
