Formula 1 fans in the United States can watch the Azerbaijan Grand Prix for free this weekend. Apple TV, the new US rights holder for F1 in 2026, offers a seven-day free trial. By taking advantage of this, fans can enjoy the 15th round of the season without paying a dime.
For those already subscribed to Apple TV, F1 TV is included at no extra cost. The platform also provides a choice between the F1 TV feed and the Sky Sports broadcast. Apple TV's five-year deal worth a reported $750 million replaces ESPN, marking a new era in F1 broadcasting in the US.
Weekend Schedule and Sessions
The 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix takes place from 24-26 September. Uniquely, the race is held on Saturday this year, with the entire weekend schedule moved forward by a day. Practice and qualifying will run on Thursday and Friday, before the race on Saturday at 12pm UK time.
In the UK, Sky Sports F1 broadcasts every session of the 2026 season. Subscribers can stream via Sky Go, with prices starting from £22 per month. Alternatively, NowTV offers streaming access. For a free option, Channel 4 will show highlights programmes throughout the season.
On-Track Battles
On track, George Russell of Mercedes will start from pole position. He is joined on the front row by Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. Meanwhile, championship leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli must start from 16th after crashing in qualifying.
With the altered weekend format, teams and drivers must adapt quickly. Shorter practice sessions demand a well-thought-out strategy from the start. The race at the narrow and challenging Baku City Circuit will test the drivers, especially those who have to charge from behind.
For fans in regions without exclusive TV contracts, F1 TV Pro remains the go-to option to follow all the action. So, make sure you don't miss the chance to watch one of the most exciting races of the season.
