How to Watch in the U.S. and Canada

Apple TV carries every live session and on-demand replays in the United States. Apple also announced a free U.S. alternative race feed on Tubi called The Fast Lane, hosted by Michelle Khare and Justin Bell. That is a separate presentation; viewers looking for the main race coverage should select Apple TV.

TSN and RDS hold the Canadian rights. Bell Media’s season announcement includes practice, qualifying and the races across its coverage. Check the TSN or RDS listing attached to your subscription for the particular linear channel or streaming feed; the U.S. Apple TV arrangement does not establish Canadian access.
