Formula 1 has announced a five-year partnership with Apple to become the sport’s exclusive U.S. broadcast partner from 2026, bringing together two global brands with a shared passion for innovation, excellence, and entertainment.
Yeah, I agree. I’m suspicious. This first year it might be bundled but I’m anticipating apple turns it into an upcharge by 2027. Also sucks for Pro tier subscribers, it’s an increase.
I also wonder if multiviewer is going to be able to work with this. I know I’m not the most important person here but it seems like F1 is completely killing how I watch their races.
Edit: on second look the multiviewer devs seem to think their app will work fine with apple tv but won’t know for certain till next year.
If F1TV access continues as they say, I’m expecting to be able to login to the same app and features, just with a different billing provider for the account. I’ll get back to sailing the seas if they take out the archives, data feed, multiviewer or international audio away.
Multiviewer became invaluable since the tv directors can’t seem to remember to show any battles.
