In 2026, Formula 1: Drive to Survive fans have a new way to go deeper into the sport through a new collaboration between Apple and Netflix. For the first time, Drive to Survive will be available to stream on both Netflix (globally) and Apple TV (US only) as Season 8 launches and takes viewers through the thrills, shake-ups, and triumphs of the 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship™.

This year, Apple TV becomes the exclusive US broadcaster for Formula 1, and as part of this collaboration, Netflix is also bringing the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix live to viewers in the U.S. from May 22-24, giving Drive to Survive fans a chance to see the rivalries they’ve watched for years play out in real-time.
