Sky Sports unveils plans for 2026 Formula 1 coverage
Sky Sports is preparing for one of the most highly anticipated F1 seasons in recent years, beginning in Australia on 6 March. Following another thrilling season on Sky Sports, 2026 promises to be even bigger with new cars and rule changes.
Featuring an expert line-up, cutting-edge broadcast innovations, and the only place to watch live coverage of all 24 races, Sky Sports remains the ultimate destination for Formula 1 fans in the UK & Ireland.
Coverage overview
A deeper way to watch F1: New for 2026, fans can look forward to even more flexibility and choice with a new immersive sidebar for TV viewing during race weekends. Features will include Race Control, Recap and in-race standings plus dedicated driver & team pages with onboard cams, enhanced data, explainers and improved homepage navigation. The feature will be available later this season for Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Q customers.
New title track: As Formula 1 enters a new era, Tate McRae's GRAMMY-nominated Just Keep Watching will become the new title track for Sky Sports' F1 coverage this season and beyond. First featured on the soundtrack to F1 The Movie, the track captures the pace and adrenaline of Formula 1.
Pit Wall Live: Sky Sports' expert Bernie Collins will guide viewers through qualifying and race strategy live from the pit wall.
Apple TV: As part of Apple TV's inaugural season as the exclusive U.S. broadcaster of F1, Sky Sports will be one of the broadcasts available to fans when they tune in.
Onboard cameras for every driver: F1 fans can select an onboard live stream of any of the 20 drivers - complete with team radio messages - for every race, Sprint, qualifying and practice.
The Grid Walk: Exclusive pre-race insights and VIP interviews from the track, approximately 30 minutes before lights out.
