The Formula 1 United States Grand Prix 2026 roars into Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas this weekend — and 20-year-old Andrea Kimi Antonelli can become the youngest F1 World Champion in history if he wins on Sunday. Here’s where to watch every session live.

How to Watch F1 United States Grand Prix 2026 Live Online
In the US, every session of the US GP streams exclusively on Apple TV — the first season of Formula 1’s new American broadcast deal with Apple, announced in October 2025, covering all practice, qualifying, Sprint and race sessions. The Apple TV app’s multiview lets you stack extra F1 feeds during a session. UK viewers get every session live on Sky Sports F1 (or via NOW with a Day or Month pass), with free-to-air highlights on Channel 4 — qualifying highlights at 1:05am Sunday, race highlights 12:15am Monday.

US GP 2026 Schedule: Race Sunday, October 25 at 4pm ET
Round 18 runs Friday to Sunday, October 23-25, in the standard format — no Sprint in Austin this year. After the Singapore GP in early October, Antonelli leads with 340 points after 17 races, and a win at COTA would seal the title in record-breaking fashion at age 20. If he falls short, the championship would still be his sooner or later this season, per the math — but rivals including Max Verstappen, fresh off his Singapore victory, will be desperate to delay the coronation.
Session times (ET): Practice 1 Friday 1:30pm, Practice 2 Friday 5pm, Practice 3 Saturday 1:30pm, Qualifying Saturday 5pm, Race Sunday 4pm (56 laps).
