Formula 1 took a much-needed break last week, but things will resume this weekend with one of the most picturesque races of the year at Red Bull Ring, located in Spielberg, Austria. The Austria Grand Prix is scheduled for Sunday, June 28 at 9 a.m. ET.

If you're tuning in from home, you should know that this year, F1 has moved to streaming exclusively on Apple TV in the U.S., and this weekend, they're offering every race on the weekend schedule absolutely free to non-subscribers. If you want to catch this weekend's race in Austria live, you'll need to download the Apple TV app (or F1 TV Premium, now free with an Apple TV subscription), but can tune in without purchasing a subscription. In addition to watching on Apple TV, you can also tune into F1 practice sessions and qualifying races via the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub.

Here's everything you need to know about this weekend's F1 Austria Grand Prix, including how to watch free on Apple TV, and check out the full 2026 F1 Grand Prix schedule. 

Date: Sunday, June 28

Time: 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT

Location: Red Bull Ring, Spielberg, Austria

TV channel: N/A

Streaming: Apple TV, F1 TV 

The 2026 Austria Grand Prix will begin at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT on Sunday, June 28.

F1 races used to air on ESPN and ESPN2 in the U.S., but Apple TV has signed an exclusive five-year deal to be the U.S. broadcaster of Formula 1 starting this season. That means that every race of the 2026 F1 season will stream live on Apple TV. 

For those without traditional cable, that makes watching F1 much easier. If you aren't already an Apple TV subscriber and don't want to shell out for yet another streaming service, we have a guide on how to get Apple TV for free in 2026, but the great news is that you don't need an Apple subscription at all to watch this weekend's Austria Grand Prix race, you just need to download the Apple TV app to your smart TV or streaming device to tune in.

In addition to watching on Apple TV, you can also tune into the practice sessions and qualifying races via the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub.
