Netflix have been linked with a sen🌠sational move to s🌌ecure F1 TV rights in the United States from 2026.

According to , the streaming giant is considering s🐽ecuring the rights for F1 in the US.

ESPN have had the rights to 🔯broadcast F1 since 2018, but they ﷽face stern competition to retain them.

Their current deal is worth just $90 million, making it relati🅺vely cheap compared to other sports.

In compari🦄son, the Premier Leaguꦺe football rights in the UK for 2025 to 2029 were sold to Sky and TNT Sports for an astonishing £6.7 billion.

Netflix are keen♌ to capitalise o🧔n their impact on F1 through the documentary series Drive to Survive.

Drive to Survive has been credited as the main reason for F✃1’s significant growth෴.

Its impact in the🐷 US has led to three races stateside.

The United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas has been on🌟 the F1 calendar since 2012.

However, Miami was added to the F1 calendar for 2022, while Las Vegas has featured si⛄nce 2023.

F1’s growth in the US ha🃏s been so significant that an American team will join the grid as the 11th team in 2026.

Cadillac, bac💖ked by General Motors, are set to join the F1 grid next year.

The team has alread♐y outlined their intention to have an American driver as part of their driver line-up, with Colton Herta heavil🥃y linked.

Considering all these factors, it makes sense to ex🐈plain why Netflix is interested in securing the rights to broadcast F1.

Netꦉflix has streamed some live sports in recent years.

In November 2024, Mike Tyson’s boxing ma🎃tch with YouTube star Jake Paul was live streamed on Netflix, making it the biggest streamed sp🎐orting event ever.

Netflix also has the rights to show two NFL games over the festi🅷ve period and will show the🔯 2027 and 2023 women’s football world cups.

It will have no impa🐠ct on UK viewers for th✨e time being.

Sky Sports𒉰 hold exclusive rights to broadcast F1 in the UK until 2029.
