Miami Grand Prix 2026: How to watch this weekend's Formula 1 race, TV schedule, where to stream, and more

Formula One returns this weekend after a five-week break with the Miami Grand Prix. It’s the first race on U.S. soil for 2026, meaning it’s also the first race of the season to have a decent start time for U.S. viewers (4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT). All the action will be held at Miami International Autodrome — and there are still tickets available, if you’re interested in watching in person.

This year, F1 has moved to a new streaming home, Apple TV. 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). Ready to watch the Miami Grand Prix? Here's everything you need to know about this weekend’s USA F1 race, plus the full 2026 F1 Grand Prix schedule.

F1 races used to air on ESPN and ESPN2 in the U.S., but Apple TV has signed an exclusive five-year deal to be the U.S. broadcaster of Formula 1 starting this season. That means the Australian Grand Prix and every other race of the 2026 F1 season will stream live on Apple TV. 

For those without traditional cable, that makes watching F1 much easier. If you aren't already an Apple TV subscriber and don't want to shell out for yet another streaming service, we have a guide on how to get Apple TV for free in 2026.
