When Is ‘F1 The Movie' Streaming On Apple TV+? Here's The Likely Release Timeline
F1 The Movie
Get ready to start your engines. Brad Pitt's Formula One film, F1: The Movie, raced into theaters on Friday, June 27. As an Apple Original Film, it will eventually be available to stream on Apple TV+ and other digital sites. But how long will viewers have to wait to watch F1 from the comfort of their homes?
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, F1 The Movie stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, one of the most promising race car drivers of the 1990s until an accident on the track almost ended his career for good. Thirty years later, the racer-for-hire driver is approached by his old teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), who owns a struggling Formula 1 team at risk of shutting down.
'Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He'll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace,' the official synopsis reads. "But as the engines roar, Sonny's past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.'
In addition to Pitt, Bardem, and Elba, the cast also includes Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo. Last week, news broke that Bridgerton star Simone Ashley's scenes were cut from the final version of the film, sparking confusion and outrage from her fans.
When asked about the switch-up, Kosinski told People that it 'happens on every film' and there were 'two or three storylines that ultimately didn't make into the final cut." The director continued, 'But Simone, she's an incredible talent, incredible actress, incredible singer, and I would love to work with her again.'
So far, F1: The Movie has been a hit among both critics and audiences. The film holds an 83% critics score based on 237 reviews and a 97% audience score from more than 2,500 ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.
New York Post critic Johnny Oleksinski praised the F1's realistic racing sequences in his review: 'The races look real, breathtakingly so, and are edited like a bat out of hell. Most importantly, the viewer fully believes Pitt and Idris are actually driving these cars," he wrote.

When Will F1 The Movie Be Streaming On Apple TV+?
F1 The Movie
F1: The Movie is an Apple Original Film, which means it will eventually stream on Apple TV+. The film will likely become available on the platform 70 to 100 days — or approximately two to three months — after its theatrical premiere. According to this estimate, F1 could begin streaming on Apple TV+ in late August or early fall 2025.
If you look at other Apple Original Films for comparison, Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) became available after 84 days, Argylle (2024) after 70 days, and Napoleon (2023) after 100 days. Wolfs (2024) landed on Apple's streaming service just one week after its limited theatrical release. Fly Me to the Moon (2024) had the longest theatrical-to-Apple TV+ window at 147 days or just over four months.
If F1 performs well in theaters, it could have an extended run before arriving on Apple's streaming platform. The sports drama, which has a hefty $200 million budget, is aiming for a $50 to $60 million opening weekend, according to Variety. The studio will likely work to maximize box office revenue before shifting F1: The Movie to streaming.
When Will F1 The Movie Be Streaming On Digital?

Before F1: The Movie begins streaming on Apple TV+ for subscribers, the racing drama will likely be available to purchase or rent on digital platforms like Prime Video, Apple TV+ and Fandango at Home even sooner — typically about 45 to 65 days after its theatrical premiere. That means fans could be watching F1 from the comfort of their homes as early as Monday, August 11, 2025.
Stay tuned to find out exactly when F1: The Movie will be available to stream.

Box Office: ‘F1' Revs to $144 Million Globally, ‘Lilo & Stitch' Nears $950 Million Milestone
Brad Pitt's original racing drama 'F1' drove to the top of the box office charts, collecting a sizable $88.4 million internationally and $144 million globally in its opening weekend. The film, from director Joseph Kosinski and producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton, follows a retired driver (Pitt) who returns to the popular motorsport to coach a cocksure rookie (Damson Idris) and save a failing team. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, where 'F1' zoomed to $55.6 million, the top-earning territories were the United Kingdom with $9.2 million, China with $9 million and Mexico with $6.7 million. More from Variety 'M3GAN 2.0' Star Allison Williams on Making The Android an 'Action Star' and Crafting Another Unforgettable Musical Moment Brad Pitt's 'F1' Delivers Apple's First Box Office Hit With $55.6 Million Debut, 'M3GAN 2.0' Fizzles With $10 Million 'M3GAN 2.0' Costume Designer on How Farrah Fawcett and Judy Jetson Inspired M3GAN's Armor 'F1' marks the first commercial win for Apple, which has previously backed underperforming big screen offerings like 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' 'Napoleon' and 'Argylle.' Against a nearly $250 million production budget and massive marketing spend, 'F1' will need significantly more ticket sales to break even and turn a theatrical profit. But this is Apple's closest attempt to all-audience blockbuster status and will soon overtake 'Napoleon' ($221 million globally) as the company's highest-grossing release. And 'F1' is expected to benefit in the coming weeks from solid reviews, positive word-of-mouth and Imax screens before landing on the company's streamer, Apple TV+. Since Apple doesn't have a distribution arm, the tech giant is paying Warner Bros. to put the film in theaters; the Burbank-based studio will also receive a percentage of theatrical revenues that increases with certain box office benchmarks. 'F1' also represents a victory for Imax, whose cameras were used to film the ultra-immersive, high-speed racing sequences. Imax screens accounted for $11.1 million overseas and $27.7 million globally, representing 19% of overall revenues — the fourth-highest percentage in Imax's history. ''F1' has inspired audiences around the globe with its underdog story and perfect blend of high-octane racing and human-centered storytelling,' says Apple's head of worldwide video Zack Van Amburg. 'The film's outstanding debut reflects both the excitement of Formula 1 and the deeply emotional and entertaining story crafted by the entire cast and creative team. Their dedication and innovation have fueled an unforgettable cinematic experience.' In terms of other newcomers, Universal and Blumhouse's A.I. thriller 'M3GAN 2.0' flatlined with $7 million from 80 international markets. Mexico earned a leading $1.2 million, followed by the U.K. and Ireland with $700,000 and Brazil with $400,000. Along with $10.2 million domestically, 'M3GAN 2.0' has grossed a soft $17 million in its first weekend of release. With weak reviews and seemingly diminished audience interest, the campy horror sequel failed to achieve the box office heights of 2023's 'M3GAN,' which ignited to $15 million overseas and $45 million globally. The original became a sleeper hit with $180 million worldwide, which explains the studio's justification for the follow-up film set around the scream queen who became a meme queen. Fortunately for the studio, 'M3GAN 2.0' cost a modest $25 million, so potential theatrical losses won't be too painful. Plus, Universal is flying high with 'How to Train Your Dragon,' which added $32 million internationally in its third frame. The live-action remake has earned $254 million overseas and $454 million worldwide to date, underscoring the enduring appeal of the fantastical property. Universal has the live-action sequel set for 2027. PG films have been dominating at the box office with 'Lilo & Stitch' adding $13.1 million from 52 markets for a massive overseas tally of $545 million. After six weekends on the big screen, the live-action 'Lilo & Stitch' is about to cross the $950 million milestone (with $946 million globally so far) and has $1 billion on the horizon. A live-action sequel to 'Lilo & Stitch' is also in the works. Not every movie with a family friendly rating is electrifying the box office. Disney's original Pixar adventure 'Elio' brought in just $11.4 million from 48 territories in its sophomore outing. After notching the worst start in Pixar history, 'Elio' has grossed $30 million overseas and $73 million worldwide. Though positive word-of-mouth should help the film endure throughout the summer, 'Elio' is nowhere near on track to earn enough to justify its $150 million production budget.

Noah Lyles vs. Tyreek Hill race would be good for TV, but not competitive on the track
A few days after Xavier Worthy broke the NFL combine 40-yard dash record, USA TODAY Sports sarcastically asked the then-draft prospect if he thought he could beat Usain Bolt in the 40-yard dash. Bolt, the former Jamaican track and field superstar, eight-time Olympic gold medalist, and 100- and 200-meter world-record holder, effortlessly ran a 4.22 in the 40-yard dash in sweats and sneakers at the NFL Experience in 2019. Advertisement Worthy clocked in with an NFL combine record-setting time of 4.21 at the 2024 NFL scouting combine. 'No,' Worthy answered when asked if he could beat Bolt. 'His 40 was in shoes and sweats. There's no comparison. I'm not even gonna disrespect him.' MORE: What is the fastest NFL combine 40-yard dash time? Worthy's honest assessment applies to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill, too. Hill and Olympic 100-meter champion Noah Lyles have playfully gone back and forth about competing against each other in a race. Their scheduled race was canceled in June due to what Lyles described as "complications" and "personal reasons." Advertisement The race would've been good publicity for both athletes and brought more casual fans to the sport of track and field. But let's stop the charade. Hill is not in the same league as Lyles or any world-class sprinter when it comes to speed. Hill did beat Lyles' younger brother, Josephus, in a 100 prelim at the ATX Sprint Classic on Saturday with a wind-aided time of 10.10. Hill conveniently elected not to run in the final, where the top five finishers all ran sub-10 seconds (all times were wind-aided). Hill, who competed in track and field in college, has a personal best legal time of 10.15 seconds in the 100 meters. The Dolphins wideout would've placed ninth at the 2024 U.S. Olympic track and field trials if he equaled his record. Hill's top mark in the 60 is 6.64. His record in the 60 would've been good enough for eighth in the event at the 2025 U.S. Indoor track and field championships. Advertisement Noah won a gold medal in the 100 at the Paris Olympics with a personal-best of 9.79. His lifetime best in the 60 is 6.43. Both times are comfortably ahead of Hill's all-time best marks. Furthermore, Noah's 10 best times in the 100 are sub-9.90. His top 10 times in the 60 are all 6.55 or better. All of which are faster than Hill's lifetime best in both events. The times don't lie. They reveal the obvious truth. Yes, the Noah Lyles vs. Tyreek Hill showdown would've been entertaining for sports fans. They are two of the biggest stars in their respective sports. But it wouldn't have been a competitive race. Advertisement Hill is arguably the fastest person in the NFL (although Worthy might have something to say about that). Lyles currently holds the title of the fastest man in the world, having won the Olympic gold medal in the 100. They are marquee athletes, but there's a distinct difference between football speed and world-class track speed. Follow USA TODAY Sports' Tyler Dragon on X @TheTylerDragon.
