The Sky Sports Feed Is Hidden in Apple TV
F1 TV in the United States is broadcast through Apple TV as part of the Formula 1 streaming rights deal. The default feed uses the international F1 broadcast commentary, but buried inside the app is a Sky Sports feed that gives you the full UK commentary and presentation team you’d hear watching in Britain.
It’s not prominently signposted, and plenty of fans don’t know it’s there. Here’s exactly how to find it.
Step-by-Step: How to Get the Sky Sports Commentary
- Open the Apple TV app on your device — Apple TV box, iPhone, iPad, Mac or smart TV with the Apple TV app installed.
- Navigate to F1 and find the live race, qualifying session or practice you want to watch. You’ll need an active F1 TV subscription to access live content.
- Start the session and locate the “Feeds” option. This is usually accessible via the playback controls or a menu button while the stream is running.
- Scroll past all the driver on-board camera feeds. There are a lot of them — keep scrolling to the very end of the list.
- At the bottom you will find the Sky Sports Feed. Select it.
- You’re now watching with the full Sky Sports commentary and presentation audio. Enjoy.
Good to know: The Sky Sports feed is available for live sessions and may also appear for replays depending on the content. If you don’t see it, make sure you’re on the latest version of the Apple TV app and that your F1 TV subscription is active.
Why Bother? The Sky Sports Difference
The Sky Sports F1 broadcast is widely regarded as the gold standard of Formula 1 television coverage. The combination of David Croft’s energetic lap-by-lap commentary, Martin Brundle’s grid walk, and a studio packed with former world champions makes for a significantly richer viewing experience than the international feed.
For the 2026 season, Sky Sports has announced an expanded team. Here’s the full on-screen line-up — see the official announcement at Sky Sports →
