This coming Sunday, the Formula 1 season continues with the Dutch Grand Prix, hosted at the Zandvoort Circuit near Amsterdam. Famous for its seaside layout nestled in the North Sea sand dunes, this venue is also celebrated for its incredibly passionate spectators, who typically clad themselves in bright orange for the occasion. The weekend action kicks off with F1 practice sessions and qualifying on Friday and Saturday, leading up to the main Grand Prix race on Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
For home viewers, please note that American F1 broadcasts have transitioned entirely to Apple TV for this season. Consequently, watching the Zandvoort race live requires an Apple TV subscription (which now bundles in F1 TV Premium at no extra cost). Alongside the main Apple TV stream, fans can follow the various practice rounds and qualifying events through the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub.
Below is a complete guide to this weekend’s F1 Dutch Grand Prix, detailing the Apple TV broadcast information, alongside the entire schedule for the 2026 F1 Grand Prix season.

TV Channel for the Dutch Grand Prix
Although American viewers previously watched F1 coverage on ESPN and ESPN2, Apple TV has secured a five-year exclusive broadcasting agreement in the United States beginning this year. As a result, the entire 2026 F1 calendar, including the Dutch Grand Prix, is streaming live solely via Apple TV.
This transition simplifies the viewing experience for cord-cutters. If you do not currently subscribe to Apple TV and hope to avoid paying for another platform, you can refer to our walkthrough on obtaining Apple TV at no cost in 2026.
