Fans of Formula 1 in the United States can watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix live at no cost by using Apple TV’s seven-day free trial. The 15th round of the 2026 F1 season is available through Apple TV, which includes F1 TV as part of its subscription courtesy of the official U.S. broadcaster. Even those without a subscription can view select races by signing up for the free trial.
In 2026, Apple TV took over F1 broadcasting rights in the U.S., replacing ESPN after securing a five-year deal reportedly worth $750 million. Viewers have the option to watch the race using either the dedicated F1 TV feed or the Sky Sports broadcast.
For viewers in the UK, the Azerbaijan Grand Prix will take place from September 24 to 26, with the race scheduled for Saturday, September 26, featuring an earlier weekend schedule. Sky Sports F1 will televise every session, and fans can also stream the event via services like NowTV. Sky Sports subscribers can watch the event online through Sky Go, with subscription packages starting at £22 per month. Alternatively, UK fans can catch free highlights on Channel 4 throughout the season.
Those outside regions with exclusive TV deals can still follow all the F1 action using F1 TV Pro. The race itself kicks off at 12 pm UK time on Saturday, September 26, with Mercedes’ George Russell securing pole position, and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc beside him on the front row. Championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli will start 16th after an unfortunate qualifying crash.
Fan Take:
This is great news for F1 enthusiasts as it makes the Azerbaijan Grand Prix more accessible, especially in the U.S. where free viewing options can help grow the sport’s fanbase. With more viewers tuning in, the increased exposure could drive greater investment and excitement around Formula 1 moving forward.
