Apple TV offers free live stream of Bahrain Grand Prix to U.S. users

Apple TV is providing free live coverage of the 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix to viewers in the United States. The broadcast includes the full schedule of practice sessions, qualifying, and the main race, requiring no subscription or trial period. This free access is limited to the U.S. region and is available via Apple devices, web browsers, smart TVs, and gaming consoles such as PlayStation and Xbox.

Although titled the Bahrain Grand Prix, the event is being held at the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East that prevented the original April schedule from proceeding. This marks the circuit's return to the F1 calendar after a nine-year absence.

In qualifying, Max Verstappen secured pole position, followed by Lewis Hamilton in second place. Kimi Antonelli moved up to third after a penalty for Red Bull's Isack Hadjar. The race features technical options such as MultiView, which allows users to view multiple camera angles and data streams simultaneously.
