Formula One has renewed its partnership with C15 Studio, which will thus operate the official “Formula 1 Channel” in the US.
The deal will see the Formula 1 Channel continue to telecast Grands Prix, popular documentaries, and action of the previous race weekend, with full replays, detailed highlights, and expert analysis of the ongoing F1, F2, and F3 seasons, which will be made available to watch five days after each Grand Prix.
Live broadcast of F1 Academy has also been added to the agreement, starting with the 2026 season of the all-female motor-racing series. The F1 Academy coverage will include all seven rounds, including every practice and qualifying session.
The Formula 1 Channel was launched in 2024 and is a Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television (FAST) channel for fans in the States, available on several leading streaming services.
Ian Holmes, Chief Media Rights and Broadcasting Officer of Formula One, commented:
“The Formula 1 Channel has been a great tool for F1 to engage with our rapidly growing US fanbase by creating an easy entry point which embraces the American audience’s diverse viewing habits. This renewed partnership and the addition of live sessions for the 2026 F1 ACADEMY series on the channel elevate the platform’s programming and perfectly supports our world-class live broadcast offering with new rights holder Apple TV.”
Joe Nilsson, CEO & Co-founder of C15 Studio, said:
“Since launching the F1 Channel in 2024, the growth we’ve seen has been exceptional, underlining the strong demand from fans for always-on access to Formula 1 content. Extending our partnership with Formula 1 and adding live F1 ACADEMY racing to the channel for 2026 represents an exciting next phase of that collaboration, and a clear endorsement of the strength behind our partnership. F1 ACADEMY is shaping the future of the sport, and we’re proud to share that journey live with audiences on the F1 Channel.”
