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.
If you’re tuning in from home, you should know that this year, F1 has moved to streaming exclusively on Apple TV in the U.S. 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). In addition to watching on Apple TV, you can also tune into F1 practice sessions and qualifying races via the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub.
