F1 Academy has been picking up speed as a support series to Formula 1 as it gains traction among motorsport fans. 2025 saw the fanbase grow 31% year-on-year as reported by Nielsen. And while the series is women-led, it isn’t women-only, with men accounting for 40% of followers.
So whether you’re a day 1, joined after the grid expanded to 18 cars, or looking to watch for the first time, you’re probably wondering: where can I watch F1 Academy in 2016?
Well we’ve got all the answers for you below!
Worldwide: YouTube and X livestreaming
The great news is that F1 Academy offers livestreams for its entire race calendar on its official YouTube channel as well as on X. This includes Qualifying as well both races for each round, and is accompanied by commentary from the likes of Ben Edwards, Nicki Shields and more.
If you happen to miss the livestream, don’t worry. You can watch it back later, or catch the highlights videos, also featured on these same channels.
And if you would prefer to watch F1 Academy in the same place you watch your F1 Grands Prix, don’t worry because there are options for that as well, depending on where you are from.
United States: F1TV via Apple TV
Streaming for all F1 Academy races in the United States will be available via F1TV, which can be accessed through Apple TV from 2026. Catch the Qualifying and both races of each round live or after the fact, as well as highlights and behind the scenes content.
