IMAX has partnered with Apple TV to bring live coverage of the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship to theaters across the U.S., marking the first time F1 races will be shown live on IMAX screens. Under the agreement, five marquee Grands Prix—Miami, Monaco, Silverstone, Monza and Austin—will be streamed in high-resolution immersive format.

The live schedule spans Miami Grand Prix on May 3, Monaco on June 7, British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 5, Italian Grand Prix at Monza on September 6, and the United States Grand Prix in Austin on October 25. At least 50 IMAX locations nationwide will present the races, with specific theaters and ticket availability announced this spring.

This collaboration broadens IMAX’s content offerings beyond theatrical releases, leveraging its proprietary projection technology to capture sports audiences and boost foot traffic. The initiative could drive ancillary revenue through ticket sales, concessions and premium event pricing while reinforcing IMAX’s position in immersive live-event entertainment.
