Formula 1 enthusiasts across the UK and Ireland have wonderful news to celebrate as Sky Sports unveils its comprehensive plans for the 2026 season. With the championship kicking off in Australia on 6 March, fans are in for one of the most highly anticipated years in recent memory. This upcoming season promises to be even bigger and more thrilling than before, featuring brand-new cars and exciting rule changes that will keep everyone on the edge of their seats.
Sky Sports remains the ultimate destination for F1 fans, offering the only place to watch live coverage of all 24 races. To make the experience even better, a new immersive sidebar is being introduced for TV viewing during race weekends. This feature brings incredible flexibility and choice, allowing viewers to access Race Control, race recaps, and live standings all in one place. Additionally, dedicated driver and team pages will showcase onboard cameras, enhanced data, and helpful explainers. This fantastic update will be available later in the season for Sky Glass, Sky Stream, and Sky Q customers.
The broadcast team is set to deliver world-class coverage with a star-studded line-up. Anthony Davidson and Karun Chandhok will continue their popular SkyPad analysis, while expert Bernie Collins will guide viewers through qualifying and race strategy live from the pit wall. Fans can also enjoy exclusive pre-race insights and VIP interviews from the track with The Grid Walk, arriving approximately 30 minutes before lights out.
For those who love getting up close to the action, onboard cameras are available for every single driver. You can select a live stream of any of the 20 drivers, complete with team radio messages, for every race, Sprint, qualifying, and practice session. To match the pace and adrenaline of the sport, the new title track will be Tate McRae's GRAMMY-nominated 'Just Keep Watching', capturing the excitement of this new era.
Whether you are tuning in via Sky Sports or accessing broadcasts alongside Apple TV's inaugural season as the exclusive U.S. broadcaster, there has never been a better time to follow the sport.
