F1 Practice: How to stream the 2026 Australian GP on F1 TV Premium
f1 practice sessions at the Australian Grand Prix this weekend will be available to stream live on F1 TV Premium and F1 TV Pro as Formula 1 launches the 2026 season. The move is designed to give fans full access to every session — practice, qualifying, sprint and the race — as teams and drivers respond to sweeping new technical regulations. Viewers in the U. S. will see F1 TV included inside Apple TV subscriptions while F1 TV Premium offers 4K HDR and a personalised Multiview experience.
F1 Practice: How to watch
Formula 1 lays out options for watching every session live. F1 TV Pro delivers close-up features such as onboard cameras for all 22 drivers and access to both Pre-Race and Post-Race Shows, while F1 TV Premium invites viewers to watch in 4K Ultra HD/HDR on up to six devices with a personalised Multiview that offers up to 26 different feeds. Formula 1 noted that F1 TV Pro and Premium are available in selected locations and that more payment methods, including AMEX, have been added for subscriber convenience.
What the broadcast offers
Formula 1 highlights that F1 TV Pro can be streamed Apple TV, Chromecast Generation 2 and above, Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku. In the U. S. market, Apple is named as Formula 1’s new Official U. S. Broadcaster and will host F1 TV included for free within its Apple TV subscription, with the F1 TV broadcast team primarily fronting Apple TV’s English-language coverage. Fans on F1 TV Premium can watch every F1 Grand Prix, F1 Sprint, Qualifying and practice session live in 4K, and the service also includes live coverage of F2, F3, F1 ACADEMY and Porsche Supercup sessions.
What to watch next
Teams enter Melbourne with uncertainty over the pecking order after sweeping new technical regulations, and several outfits — McLaren, Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari — have been tipped as potential front-runners. Lando Norris arrives into Round 1 as the reigning World Champion, leaving fans eager to see whether he or another challenger will set the early pace. Expect broadcasters and teams to lean heavily on f1 practice coverage and onboard feeds to assess how the new cars perform under race conditions.
Formula 1 has assembled the platform choices and technical options for viewers; the immediate focus now shifts to track action and how teams translate design changes into lap time. Coverage across F1 TV Pro and F1 TV Premium, plus the Apple TV integration in the U. S., will determine how quickly fans can evaluate the early hierarchy as the 2026 season gets under way.
