All races will be on Apple TV next year. Yes, even the US based ones that typically air on ABC.
Actually it is… due to NFL rules it has to be simulcast on regular local TV in the local areas. In that case, the ABC stations in Cincinnati and Pittsburgh picked up the simulcast rights to this weeks game.By that definition, NFL's "Thursday Night Football" is no longer televised in the United States.![]()

Streaming is NOT television.I think it's being televised. Even streaming services providing video means it's televised. But I guess it's going exclusive to a streaming service in the US for the first time.
The year is 2025 FYIStreaming is NOT television.

That’s something if I were the guy who ran the Emmys. If a particular show didn’t get shown on live TV in its entirety, it wouldn’t be considered for an award.Semantics obviously, but the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences considered programs on streaming services for the Emmy Awards. I would think a live broadcast that could be sent to a TV would then be considered televised programming.
If you only have F1TV the way it's been stated you would have to subscribe to Apple TVWell half the US Mens National Team (Soccer) matches are only shown on streaming like Paramount + so to me that's much worse. If I have to pay to watch ANY National Team of the USA I think that's pretty messed up.
I subscribe to Paramount + so I can still watch it but I shouldn't have to.
I also subscribe to F1 TV so this wont be a big deal to many F1 fans who do like I do. Besides I like the changing views I can get on F1 TV rather than ESPN or ABC and all the commentary, etc.
Nascar already does that with exclusive races on Prime during the Summer. Other sports have been streaming for a few years now, like football with Thursday Night Football on Prime, Xmas games on Netflix and a couple others on Peacock.But it seems that for any sport streaming services are becoming in fashion. But it won't be long till NASCAR does the same thing in the future
If anything… Apple should at least sublicense the US based races to linear TV as a free trial to those fans who don’t have it yet. Put the Miami, Austin and Las Vegas races on a network like Fox, just like MLS does.Nascar already does that with exclusive races on Prime during the Summer.

Linear television (cable/sat) is slowly dying as many young people watch streaming instead of paying for expensive cable packages. Streaming is where the eyeballs are and sports recognize that, as do advertisers. F1 will do well on Apple. Their Friday night baseball package was outstanding as far as picture quality, game stats and announcers and I have no doubt the F1 package will be just as high quality.
It's all about money. It should be obvious linear TV isn't interested in spending the money for F1.If anything… Apple should at least sublicense the US based races to linear TV as a free trial to those fans who don’t have it yet.

omg tell me you don't watch F1 without telling me you don't watch F1F1 runs all of their races on street/road courses. Generally seems boring to me as they mostly drive around in single file and the teams with the most money have the fastest cars. Drivers get paid HUGE salaries and obviously that money has to come from somewhere.
