How Much Does F1 TV Cost?

F1 TV pricing in the United States

For U.S. viewers in 2026, the two official choices shown by Formula 1 are different products. Apple TV is the U.S. home of live Formula 1 and includes F1 TV Premium with an Apple TV subscription. Apple lists Apple TV at $14.99 per month after a seven-day free trial. Formula 1 separately lists F1 TV Access at $3.49 per month or $29.99 per year for timing data, selected team radio, delayed replays, and archive content.

The important distinction is live coverage. Apple says its subscription includes every Grand Prix, practice, qualifying, and Sprint session in the United States at no additional Formula 1 charge. F1 TV Access is the lower-cost data, replay, and archive plan; it is not the equivalent of the live F1 TV Premium experience.

Use the official U.S. F1 TV page and Apple TV pricing page to verify the live offer immediately before subscribing.

U.S. plan comparison

Prices and availability are country-specific. The F1 page says the selected plan must be associated with your resident country and the country where you subscribe. This page therefore describes the U.S. offer, not a worldwide price.

What Apple TV includes for U.S. F1 viewers

Apple describes Apple TV as the new U.S. home of Formula 1. Its official page says the service carries every Grand Prix, including practice, qualifying, and Sprint sessions, with no separate F1 add-on charge. Formula 1's own U.S. subscription page says F1 TV Premium is available with Apple TV and can be connected to an Apple Account.

F1 TV Premium adds features intended for fans who want more control over the live experience. Formula 1 lists live custom multiview, UHD where supported, team radio, onboard cameras, live timing, analysis, documentaries, and archive programming. Device, picture-quality, and simultaneous-stream conditions still apply, so check the current product page for the exact device you expect to use.

Apple also includes its wider catalog in the same subscription. That means the $14.99 monthly price is not solely an F1 fee. When comparing value, decide whether you would use the broader Apple TV service or whether you only want Formula 1 data and delayed content.

What F1 TV Access includes

F1 TV Access is a separate lower-priced plan displayed on Formula 1's U.S. page. Formula 1 lists live timing data, selected team-radio clips, delayed race replays, documentaries, and an archive of historic races. Replay availability can vary, and the live-timing features are used through the F1 app.

Access can fit a viewer who follows race data in real time but does not need the direct live video package, or someone who mainly watches delayed replays and archive content. It is not a substitute for Apple TV if your requirement is live U.S. video coverage of every F1 session.

Monthly versus annual Access

At the published prices, twelve months of the $3.49 monthly option would total $41.88, while the annual option is $29.99. That arithmetic makes the annual plan cheaper over a full year, but it also requires an upfront commitment. Monthly billing can be more flexible if you only need Access for part of the season or want to test the app first.

Before choosing annual billing, confirm that the features you expect are included, that replays are available on your schedule, and that the app works on your preferred device. A lower annual total is only useful if you continue using the plan.

Trial, renewal, and cancellation checks

Apple lists a seven-day trial for eligible new subscribers and says the service renews at $14.99 per month afterward. It also advertises separate device, student, and Apple One offers with their own eligibility and redemption rules. Treat those as distinct offers and read the terms shown for the one you actually select.

For F1 TV Access, record whether you chose monthly or annual billing and the next renewal date. The seller shown on your receipt controls account management. If Apple billed you, use Apple's subscription controls. If Formula 1 billed you directly, use the F1 account associated with the purchase. Turning off renewal and requesting a refund are separate actions; do not assume a cancellation creates a refund.

Which option is the better fit?

Choose Apple TV when live U.S. race coverage is the priority and you want F1 TV Premium's enhanced viewing tools. Choose F1 TV Access when timing, delayed replays, or archive programming are sufficient and the lower subscription price matters more than live video.

Before paying, run four checks:

1. 1Confirm that the page is showing the United States as your resident market.
2. 2Decide whether you need live video or only data, replays, and archives.
3. 3Check that your television, phone, browser, or streaming device is supported.
4. 4Save the price, trial, renewal date, and seller shown at checkout.
