How to Watch F1 2024 Live on Apple TV for Free
Play RSI/Play RTS/Play SRF
- Country: Switzerland

In Switzerland, you can watch F1 for free when you install Play RSI (with Italian commentary), Play RTS (French), or Play SRF (German) on your Apple TV. You can start watching immediately after you install the app – no need to create an account.

ORF TVthek
- Country: Austria
- Available Races: Saudi Arabia, Japan, Miami, Monaco, Spain, Great Britain, Hungary, Monza, Singapore, Mexico, Las Vegas, and Abu Dhabi
In Austria, you can stream 12 races this season live and on demand on ORF. Replays are available for up to seven days – ideal if you want to watch a race that already took place overnight in your time zone.
Also, if you only missed the first few laps of a race that’s streaming live, you can use the “Restart” function to quickly go back to the beginning and watch from there.
ServusTV On
- Country: Austria
- Available Races: Bahrain, Australia, China, Imola, Canada, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Azerbaijan, Austin, Brazil, and Qatar
ServusTV is Austria’s other official F1 streaming provider along with ORF. You don’t need to subscribe to watch races, but having an account lets you pick up where you left off when you switch devices. Aside from races, free practice, and qualifying, you can also watch featured highlights.
Since ServusTV and the Red Bull F1 team share the same parent company, you’ll also get exclusive content on the team, its drivers, and the Red Bull Ring racetrack.
Channel 4
- Country: UK
- Available Race: British GP
The British Grand Prix is available to watch for free with ads on the Channel 4 app for Apple TV. To stream ad-free, you need to subscribe to Channel 4+. The platform notes where you left off and gives you the option to easily resume watching when you return to your stream or switch devices.
If you experience buffering and lag whenever you connect to a streaming service, your ISP may be selectively throttling your connection. The good news is, you can set up CyberGhost VPN on your Apple TV to stop your ISP from seeing what you’re doing online. This helps you avoid throttling so you can watch in smooth HD.
10 Play
- Country: Australia
- Available Race: Australian GP
In Australia, you can stream the Australian Grand Prix for free on 10 Play, but you need to register for an account. If your Apple TV’s software is v6.2.0 or higher, you can activate your 10 Play account directly on your device so you can start watching in seconds.
If you need to switch devices in the middle of the race, 10 Play’s “Continue Watching” feature lets you pick up where you left off on any logged-in device.
