Five reasons to watch the Formula 1® Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix 2026 on Apple TV

Sprint action, Multiview feeds, Apple Maps, Apple Sports and Apple News give U.S. fans more ways to experience the F1® Miami GP on Apple TV

Formula 1® returns to the U.S. this weekend for the Miami Grand Prix, streaming live on Apple TV with every session available live and on demand for subscribers in the U.S.

The highly anticipated Miami Grand Prix arrives at a pivotal point in the 2026 season, with teams bringing upgrades, drivers adapting to the Sprint format and limited practice time putting immediate pressure on setup, strategy and execution. Around the Hard Rock Stadium complex, the circuit’s mix of tight technical sections, the marina sequence and a long, top speed run into Turn 17 creates an environment where key moments can happen well before Sunday’s Grand Prix.

Apple TV is the new U.S. home of F1, pairing comprehensive coverage with customizable live feeds, race-week tools and deeper ways to follow the action across the Apple ecosystem. Here are five reasons U.S. fans can get more from the Miami Grand Prix on Apple TV.

1. Every session matters with the Sprint format

The Miami Grand Prix does not wait for Sunday. With only one practice session before sprint qualifying on Friday, teams have less time to prepare, evaluate upgrades and settle on a direction before competitive running begins.

Apple TV gives U.S. subscribers access to every session live and on demand, including practice, qualifying, sprint sessions and the Grand Prix. Fans can follow the pressure from the first laps on Friday through the final laps on Sunday, with English and Spanish commentary, 4K with Dolby Vision and 5.1 surround sound.

For a sprint weekend, being able to follow closely and follow the action matters. A setup choice, qualifying mistake or early battle can shape the entire race before the lights go out.

2. Multiview helps fans follow more of the race at once

The Miami International Autodrome can produce action in several places at once. A lead battle may be building into Turn 17 while a midfield fight develops through the marina section, or a driver further back may be setting up an overtake over multiple laps.

With Multiview on Apple TV, viewers can watch up to four live feeds at once. Fans can choose their own layout or use one-tap preconfigured Multiview options for every team, making it easier to keep an eye on the battles that matter most to them.

That added choice is especially useful at a race where the broadcast focus, timing data and onboard perspectives can each tell a different part of the same story.

3. Live feeds bring fans closer to the drivers

Apple TV subscribers can access up to 30 additional live feeds across sessions, giving fans more ways to follow the drivers, teams and battles beyond the main broadcast.

Driver Tracker provides a bird’s-eye view of the race, while real-time telemetry and timing feeds show how gaps, pace and strategy are changing. A mixed onboard feed automatically switches between onboard cameras as the action develops, while the Podium feed dynamically follows the drivers running P1, P2 and P3.

For fans locked onto one driver, one team or one battle, those feeds can make the race easier to read. A strong qualifying run, a sprint setback or a late push toward the front no longer has to disappear from view when the main broadcast moves elsewhere.

4. Apple Maps makes the Miami Grand Prix easier to explore

The Miami Grand Prix extends well beyond the circuit itself. The Hard Rock Stadium complex brings together grandstands, fan zones, hospitality areas, bridges, race entrances, the marina and a full slate of race-week activity.

Apple Maps gives fans at home or trackside a detailed way to explore the venue at any time, with circuit maps that include turn numbers, grandstands and custom-designed 3D landmarks such as the pit building, the marina and the finish line. Fans attending in person can also find practical details including gates, race entrances, pedestrian walkways, restrooms, water stations and road closures.

Apple Maps also includes race-week guides such as “A Local’s Guide to Miami F1® Race Week” and hyperlocal Miami spots, helping fans make more of the Grand Prix across the wider city.

5. Apple Sports, Apple News, and replays keep fans connected

Not every fan will watch every lap live, and the Miami Grand Prix will give them plenty to keep up with. Sprint format adds meaningful action earlier in the weekend, and Apple TV gives viewers several ways to stay close to the race even on a flexible schedule.

Full replays, highlights and Race in 30 are available spoiler-free, making it easier to catch up after a session or revisit the key moments later. The Apple Sports app adds real-time leaderboards, driver and constructor standings, live updates for every session and race, Live Activities on the iPhone Lock Screen and Apple Watch, plus quick access to watch live on Apple TV.

Apple News brings personalized F1 coverage, headlines, results, notifications and live blogs, giving fans another way to stay current on the stories shaping the Miami Grand Prix.

After the race, fans can keep the conversation going with The POV, a social series featuring former Red Bull Racing senior technician Calum Nicholas and content creator and engineer Christina Roki as they react to key moments from the weekend, from strategy calls to decisive overtakes.

Bonus: Miami Grand Prix energy goes beyond the race

Are you as obsessed with F1 as we are? Apple is extending the Miami Grand Prix beyond the traditional race broadcast. Fans across the country can experience the race live in IMAX at more than 50 locations, while Apple brings race day to Times Square with a live public screening in New York City.

Apple Music also gives fans another way into the weekend, with a Miami-centric DJ mix from Dímelo Flow, audio livestreams of the Sprint and Race, and Cadillac driver Sergio “Checo” Pérez’s personal playlist.

Together, Apple TV and the Apple ecosystem give U.S. fans more ways to experience Formula 1’s return to Miami, from every live session and custom Multiview setup to driver-focused feeds, race-week navigation and flexible ways to catch up.

However you choose to watch, Apple TV brings more of the Miami Grand Prix within reach.
