IMAX, Apple TV Bring 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship Races to Selected U.S. Locations

IMAX announces it is working with Apple TV to bring the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship live to select IMAX locations across the United States.

Through the first-of-its-kind collaboration, five Grands Prix races in F1 - Miami, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, and Austin - will be available across at least 50 IMAX locations nationwide. Participating IMAX locations will deliver a viewing experience of Formula 1 on Apple TV, amplifying the inaugural season of Apple TV as the official U.S. broadcaster for F1.

The following Formula 1 Grands Prix races will be presented live in IMAX:

Miami Grand Prix - May 3, 2026

Monaco Grand Prix - June 7, 2026

British Grand Prix (Silverstone) - July 5, 2026

Italian Grand Prix (Monza) - September 6, 2026

United States Grand Prix (Austin) - October 25, 2026

F1 is a rapidly growing force in sports and culture in the US, and by bringing F1 on Apple TV live to IMAX theaters nationwide, we're delivering the energy and excitement to even more screens in a truly immersive way, says Oliver Schusser, Apple's Vice President of Music, Sports, and Beats. We're excited to collaborate with IMAX to expand access to F1 on Apple TV and give fans across the U.S. a powerful new way to experience the speed and spectacle that the sport delivers.

Apple TV and Joe Kosinski's brilliant F1 : The Movie proved beyond a doubt that the speed, precision, and artistry of Formula 1 translate beautifully to the IMAX Experience, and we are very excited to further our collaboration with Apple and offer fans more of what resonated so deeply with that film by presenting live F1 races to them in IMAX, says Jonathan Fischer, Chief Content Officer at IMAX. As we continue to expand our global content portfolio with awe-inspiring experiences, we look forward to working with Apple to amplify its live coverage of Formula 1 and give fans in the U.S. an all-new way to experience this fast-growing sport.

The announcement builds on IMAX and Apple's successful collaboration on Apple Films' F1 : The Movie, a filmed for IMAX release directed by Joseph Kosinski and shot entirely using IMAX-certified digital cameras.

F1 : The Movie was the highest-grossing Hollywood release in IMAX of 2025, with $97.6 million in IMAX worldwide. To celebrate its recent nomination for Best Picture for next month's 98th Academy Awards, IMAX recently re-released F1 : The Movie across 50 IMAX screens in the U.S. beginning Jan. 30. Hailing from Apple Studios, F1 The Movie is directed and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Joseph Kosinski, seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Chad Oman.
