The official F1 TV application brings the whole world of Formula 1 straight to your personal devices. Whether you prefer a quick highlight on a smartphone or a full-screen, 4K experience on a TV, the app adapts to any environment. It is offered as a free download with optional in-app purchases, meaning you can explore the interface before deciding on a plan.
Core capabilities of the F1 TV platform
At its heart, the service delivers live streaming of every session—practice, qualifying and the race itself—plus a deep library of on-demand replays. Users also gain access to a wealth of telemetry, timing data and team radio excerpts, allowing fans to follow the strategic side of grand prix racing. The app supports iOS 16.0 or later on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and tvOS, with a fully English-language interface and a 13+ age rating.
Three subscription tiers and what each provides
F1 TV Premium represents the most immersive package. It grants a “Race Director” perspective via the Multi View tool, where you can compose a custom screen layout featuring several camera angles simultaneously. All feeds are delivered in 4K UHD with HDR, and you may stream on up to six devices at once, making it ideal for households or groups of fans watching together.
F1 TV Pro offers the “Team Principal” viewpoint. Subscribers receive live on-board camera feeds, real-time team radio, and an ad-free broadcast of every session. The tier also includes live streams of the supporting series—F2, F3, F1 Academy and Porsche Supercup—as well as exclusive weekend shows and the same essential timing data found in the lower tier.
F1 TV Access is the “Strategist” level, focused on data and replays. It supplies live timing, telemetry, tyre usage, driver maps and delayed race replays. Users also get curated “best of” team-radio clips, plus access to archival documentaries and race-weekend specials. This tier is the most affordable entry point for fans who mainly want the numbers and highlights.
Pricing, device support and getting started
Access to the F1 TV Access plan costs $3.49 per month or $29.99 annually. Premium and Pro pricing is handled directly through the official app store; the exact figures are displayed at purchase time. After confirming a subscription, the app automatically activates the chosen tier across all linked devices, allowing up to six simultaneous streams for Premium users.
Technical requirements are modest: an Apple device running iOS 16.0+, iPadOS 16.0+ or tvOS 16.0+ is sufficient. The app collects a range of data—contact information, identifiers, usage statistics and diagnostics—to improve service quality, with clear distinctions between data that is linked to your identity and anonymised usage logs. Support resources, including a help centre, terms of use and privacy policy, are reachable via the links provided in the app’s settings.
Recent updates (version 2.46.1) focus on bug fixes and performance enhancements, ensuring a smoother viewing experience during high-traffic race weekends. Whether you are a casual follower or a data-driven analyst, the F1 TV ecosystem is built to scale with your level of interest, delivering the roar of the engines straight to your screen.
