Netflix is set to air Apple TV’s 2026 Canadian Grand Prix live. Thanks to the award-winning documentary series Formula (F1): Drive to Survive, Netflix users in the United States have enjoyed an inside glimpse into F1 2026 for the past eight seasons. Now, they can watch an entire race weekend unfold live, bringing viewers closer to the action than ever before.
Montreal will be anything but peaceful this weekend. This Grand Prix is one of six Sprint weekends on the 2026 schedule, meaning there are even more qualifying laps to execute and intense, wheel-to-wheel battles to be fought among the 22 drivers in this year’s lineup.
The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix takes place at the historic Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Montreal, Quebec—one of the most famous and deeply rooted venues on the F1 calendar.
