The only way to watch the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend for free

The famous Interlagos circuit in Sao Paulo will welcome the new F1 champion, Kimi Antonelli, this weekend as the season enters its final stages.

The title has already been decided, and with Qatar and Abu Dhabi in doubt due to unrest in the Middle East, Brazil could even be the penultimate race of the calendar year.

Fans who want to watch the race will need to buy a Sky Sports subscription in the UK, but fans elsewhere can watch it completely free.

Apple TV has the rights to every F1 race of the 2026 season in the USA and it is offering fans the chance to watch the entire Brazilian Grand Prix weekend for free if they have never used the streaming service.

Fans can take out a seven-day Apple TV trial to watch qualifying and the race itself - and the trial can be cancelled before the monthly billing begins should you not wish to keep the service.

Three ways to watch the Brazilian GP

The free trial actually gives fans three options to watch the race. Apple’s own US coverage is the main channel, but Apple TV also includes Sky Sports’ coverage from the UK, including Martin Brundle’s grid walk and Ted Kravitz’ notebook series.

Apple TV viewers also get access to F1TV, the data-heavy option with more insight into team radio messages and trackside data.

There is, of course, a catch. Apple TV only has the rights to the F1 in the USA, which means you cannot sign up for the free trial unless you are in the country.

It means fans in the UK will need a Sky subscription or a NowTV pass to watch the race weekend, while those in the US will get the opportunity to watch the action completely free using the free trial option.

Qualifying is scheduled to get underway at 3pm local time in São Paulo, which is 1pm US Eastern time, 10am Pacific time, and 6pm UK time (GMT). The Brazilian Grand Prix itself will start at 2pm local time in Brazil on Sunday, which will be 12pm US Eastern time, 9am Pacific time, and 5pm UK time (GMT).
