F1 on US TV: How to watch Dutch Grand Prix weekend live and FREE

F1 returns from its summer break at the Dutch Grand Prix this weekend, and we have all the details about how US fans can catch the action live on TV.

The final race at the iconic Zandvoort circuit will take centre stage as Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton continue their title battle and Max Verstappen celebrates that massive new Red Bull contract in front of his home fans.

Apple TV is the new stateside rights holder for F1 in 2026, after replacing ESPN in a five-year deal worth a staggering $750million.

ESPN typically took the Sky Sports broadcast feed for its own coverage until Apple outbid them for the new rights cycle, but viewers can now choose between the Sky Sports crew and the F1 TV feed, shown as the 'main' feed on Apple. There are also onboard cameras for all 22 cars, a data tracker and a track map to enjoy during the live sessions.

Here's how you can watch the action unfold in Zandvoort this weekend at no expense via the streaming service's free trial option.
