Formula 1 returns from its summer break with the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, a pivotal race that launches the second half of the championship and could reshape both title battles. Championship leader Kimi Antonelli arrives with a 50-point advantage over Lewis Hamilton, but recent performances from Ferrari, McLaren and Mercedes suggest the fight remains wide open. With Zandvoort hosting what is expected to be its final Formula 1 race for the foreseeable future, global interest in the Dutch Grand Prix has reached another level, including among the growing F1 audience across the United States.
For U.S. viewers, Apple TV becomes the primary destination for Formula 1 coverage in 2026, offering live access to every session throughout the Dutch Grand Prix weekend. Fans can watch practice sessions, Sprint Qualifying, the Sprint race, Grand Prix Qualifying and Sunday’s main event through Apple’s dedicated F1 channel. The platform also includes full race replays, extended highlights and comprehensive pre-race and post-race analysis, making it one of the most complete viewing options available for American audiences following the championship.
Streaming coverage goes beyond the standard race broadcast. Subscribers can access additional features designed to provide a more immersive experience, including onboard cameras from all 22 cars, real-time driver tracking, live timing data and multiple viewing angles. These tools allow fans to follow individual battles across the field while monitoring strategy developments, sector times and position changes as they happen on track.
In selected international markets, F1 TV Pro and F1 TV Premium continue to offer live coverage of every Formula 1 session, along with Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 Academy and Porsche Supercup events. Premium features include 4K Ultra HD/HDR streaming, customizable multiview screens and access across multiple devices simultaneously. Support for Apple TV, Roku, Google TV, Android TV and Amazon Fire TV also allows viewers to follow the action from virtually any screen.
For fans who prefer a second-screen experience, live timing and session updates remain available through F1.com and the official Formula 1 app throughout the Dutch Grand Prix weekend. With a Sprint format, championship implications at the front of the field and the historic atmosphere of Zandvoort, the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched Formula 1 events of the season.
