Apple is in talks to acquire U.S. streaming rights for Formula 1 through its Apple TV app, potentially starting in 2026. With ESPN’s current deal expiring this year, Apple faces competition from other bidders. The new rights could cost $120–$150 million annually. Apple’s interest follows its growing sports content push and its involvement in F1-themed projects, including a new movie and an upcoming Lewis Hamilton documentary. The future of F1 TV in the U.S. remains uncertain if Apple secures exclusive rights.
