Apple will broadcast five Formula 1 Grand Prix races in IMAX cinemas in the United States.

Riding high on the success of the film "F1," which notably stars Brad Pitt and won the Oscar for best sound, Apple snapped up the broadcasting rights for the world championship of Formula 1 for its Apple TV+ platform in the United States. The Cupertino company will go even further for five Grand Prix of the 2026 season, which will be broadcast in IMAX cinemas, the most immersive cinemas in the country.

This is an opportunity to experience the thrill of the Grand Prix of Miami, Monaco, Great Britain, Italy and the United States on the big screen, and with sound of much better quality than that of the best home cinemas available on the market.

While ESPN has been able to boast steadily increasing viewership for its Grand Prix broadcasts in recent years, Apple TV+ is currently keeping the viewership figures for the first three Grands Prix of the 2026 season secret. Tickets for the Miami GP in cinemas, which go on sale April 10th, may reveal a decline in popularity or, conversely, an enduring passion for a sport that is now neck and neck with the...IndyCar and NASCAR O'Reilly Auto Parts Series for the position of second most followed motorsport in the United States.
