If location or cost preclude you from catching an F1 Grand Prix live, then immersive Imax screenings for races in Miami, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza, and Austin promise to be the next best way to watch the world’s premier motorsport.
Earlier this year, Imax announced a collaboration with Apple TV—which secured exclusive U.S. streaming and broadcast rights to Formula 1 for five years for a reported $750 million in 2025—to screen races live in at least 50 of the hi-fi theaters this year.
“F1 is a rapidly growing force in sports and culture in the US, and by bringing F1 on Apple TV live to IMAX theaters nationwide, we’re delivering the energy and excitement to even more screens in a truly immersive way,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Music, Sports, and Beats. “We’re excited to collaborate with IMAX to expand access to F1 on Apple TV and give fans across the U.S. a powerful new way to experience the speed and spectacle that the sport delivers.”
The first-of-its-kind partnership comes on the heels of F1: The Movie‘s unprecedented success, which became the top-grossing film of Brad Pitt’s career following its global debut in June 2025. It returned to Imax for a second run of showings in August 2025 and a third in January 2026, bringing its ultimate gross to $644 million.
“Apple TV and [director] Joe Kosinski’s brilliant F1 : The Movie proved beyond a doubt that the speed, precision, and artistry of Formula 1 translate beautifully to the IMAX Experience, and we are very excited to further our collaboration with Apple and offer fans more of what resonated so deeply with that film by presenting live F1 races to them in IMAX,” added Jonathan Fischer, Chief Content Officer at IMAX. “As we continue to expand our global content portfolio with awe-inspiring experiences, we look forward to working with Apple to amplify its live coverage of Formula 1 and give fans in the U.S. an all-new way to experience this fast-growing sport.”
