2026 Belgian Grand Prix: Watch Live on Apple TV for Free

When is the Belgian Grand Prix?

The 2026 Moët & Chandon Belgian Grand Prix is set for July 19, 2026, at Circuit de Spa‑Francorchamps in Spa, Belgium. It marks the 12th race of the F1 season, with practice on Friday and qualifying on Saturday before the main event at 9 a.m. ET. Spa‑Francorchamps remains one of the oldest tracks still used in modern Formula 1. This mid‑season stop sits between the British and Hungarian Grands Prix on the calendar.

How the Broadcasting Shift Affects Fans

This year F1 moves to an Apple TV‑only window in the United States, ending the long‑standing ESPN partnership. The Belgian GP and every other race will stream live on Apple TV, which now offers a free pass for all weekend sessions. Fans without traditional cable can still catch practice and qualifying races through the Yahoo Sports Racing Hub. The change makes access simpler for cord‑cut households but requires an Apple device or subscription.

Free Access This Weekend

Apple TV is offering the entire Belgian Grand Prix weekend free for everyone, not just subscribers. New users can take advantage of a seven‑day trial, and owners of eligible Apple devices may receive up to three months at no cost. After the promotional period the price settles at $12.99 per month. This unlimited access means casual fans can watch practice, qualifying and the race without signing up.

F1 TV Premium Included with Apple TV

An F1 TV Premium subscription is bundled with Apple TV, letting fans activate the service using their Apple credentials. The premium tier streams every race live, plus practice, qualifying, pre‑race shows, Tech Talks, documentaries and the official archive. This all‑in‑one package removes the need for a separate racing‑specific service. After activation, fans can enjoy the full F1 library on the same device used for Apple TV.

Special Discounts for Cord‑Cutters

T‑Mobile customers on eligible plans can snag Apple TV for just $3 a month, a steep reduction from the standard rate. A separate Apple TV/Peacock bundle costs $14.99 monthly and combines sports with scripted originals and movies. These partnerships aim to make F1 more accessible as cord‑cutting accelerates. The bundled options also include Apple TV’s award‑winning originals, giving subscribers extra value beyond racing.
