Where can I watch the 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix?

The 2026 Las Vegas Grand Prix runs November 19-21, with the race Saturday, November 21, at 8 p.m. local time (11 p.m. ET). In the US, Univision airs the race in Spanish and Apple TV streams every session. On Apple TV, practice is free, while qualifying and the race need a $14.99-a-month subscription. Tubi also has a free alternate race broadcast.

Step by step

  1. Get the Apple TV app. Open the Apple TV app on your TV, phone or computer, or go to tv.apple.com. For the race in Spanish on TV, find your local Univision station instead.
  2. Subscribe before Friday night. Practice is free. For qualifying and the race on Apple TV, start a subscription ($14.99/month after a seven-day free trial).
  3. Tune in Saturday night. Qualifying is Friday at 8 p.m. local (11 p.m. ET). Lights out for the Grand Prix is Saturday, November 21, at 8 p.m. local (11 p.m. ET).

The race starts Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 8 p.m. local time in Las Vegas (PT), which is 11 p.m. ET, 10 p.m. CT and 9 p.m. MT. Qualifying is Friday, November 20, at the same time.

Can I watch the Las Vegas Grand Prix for free?
Partly. Practice is free on Apple TV, Univision simulcasts the race in Spanish, and Tubi plans a free altcast of the race. Apple's own qualifying and race coverage needs a subscription, which has a seven-day free trial.

Apple says every practice session streams without a subscription. On Apple TV, qualifying and the Grand Prix need a subscription unless Apple makes this one of its free race weekends. English and Spanish commentary are both offered. Univision has announced the race and its own pre- and post-race shows for November 21; the time above is the race start, and we found no published start for its pre-race show.

Is it on TV?

In Spanish, yes. Apple holds exclusive US rights to Formula 1 from 2026, but Apple said in March that Univision would simulcast one race this season, and TelevisaUnivision has named Las Vegas. Univision will add its own pre- and post-race programming. It is a broadcast network, so an antenna can pick it up where a local station reaches.

In English, you watch in the Apple TV app or at tv.apple.com. English and Spanish commentary are both available there.

Why the schedule looks different

Las Vegas runs Thursday to Saturday rather than Friday to Sunday, and there is no sprint. The official timetable has two practice sessions on Thursday, the third practice and qualifying on Friday, and the 50-lap Grand Prix on Saturday at 8 p.m. local time, which is 11 p.m. Eastern.

The timetable allows the race up to two hours, so in the East it can run until about 1 a.m. Sunday. Apple's listing opens its race coverage at 9:50 p.m. ET.

What you pay, and what is free

Apple's help page says every practice session streams without a subscription, along with a small number of full race weekends it chooses. Apple's Las Vegas race and qualifying pages still show the subscription offer, so plan on paying for those two sessions on Apple TV.

Apple TV costs $14.99 a month after a seven-day free trial, and it is also part of Apple One. In the US the subscription includes F1 TV Premium at no extra cost: link your Apple Account at f1.com/apple to use the F1 TV app.

Tubi has named Las Vegas for The Fast Lane, its free live altcast with creators, driver data and onboard footage. It is an alternate show rather than Apple's main broadcast, and we found no published start time yet. Apple also said in March that Yahoo Sports would stream live practice and qualifying this season, with qualifying on a mixed onboard feed. We could not confirm a Las Vegas listing on Yahoo.
