The Monaco Grand Prix is scheduled for this weekend, June 5th to June 7th, and after a stop-start opening to the 2026 campaign, the grid is ready to tackle the tightest, most unforgiving track on the calendar.

How to Watch in the United Kingdom
For fans in the UK, the broadcasting landscape remains the comfortable, familiar standard.
- Sky Sports F1: Sky retains the exclusive rights to broadcast every single practice, qualifying session, and the race live.
- Streaming: You can stream all the action live via the Sky Go app or with a NOW TV Sports membership.
- Free-to-Air: If you do not have a Sky subscription, Channel 4 will continue to provide delayed free-to-air highlights of qualifying and the race later in the evening.
How to Watch in the United States
If you are watching from the US, you need to pay close attention because the broadcast rights have completely shifted for the 2026 season.
- Apple TV: Forget ESPN. Apple TV is now the exclusive broadcast partner for Formula 1 in the United States.
- The Details: This massive 5-year, $150 million-a-year deal means that all practice sessions, qualifying, and the Grand Prix itself will stream directly on the Apple TV platform.
- Free Sessions: Apple has announced that all practice sessions throughout the season will actually be available to watch for free on the Apple TV app. However, you will need an Apple TV subscription (or the F1 TV Premium package, which is now only available in the US via an Apple TV subscription) to catch Qualifying and the Race.
