Brad Pitt's "F1" movie raced onto the scene as one of the summer's most anticipated blockbuster releases. The Apple Original sports drama saw "greatest that never was" Formula 1 racer Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) recruited by an ex-teammate (Javier Bardem) to help bring his struggling Formula 1 franchise, APXGP, back from the brink, decades after Sonny was in the racing game.
Sonny takes him up on the offer, but starts to butt heads with the team's hotshot youngster, Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), who isn't exactly thrilled to be sharing the limelight with the old-timer. In other words, "F1" is a sports movie that packs in plenty of drama both on and off the track.
"F1" went on to be well-liked by critics but especially fellow moviegoers— it's 82% from critics but 97% from fans on Rotten Tomatoes — and fellow TG writer Malcolm McMillan went so far as to proclaim it "the movie of the summer" earlier this year.
If you missed it in theaters, or you've been itching to revisit "F1: The Movie" at home, you'll know that we've been waiting for an "F1" streaming date for some time, and unfortunately, that's not changed just yet.
However, another outlet may have revealed when "F1" will release digitally on Premium Video-on-Demand (PVOD) storefronts. You can also find my guess at when the "F1" movie might come to Apple TV Plus below, too.
When is 'F1' coming to streaming?
"F1" premiered in US theaters on June 27, 2025, though WhenToStream.com has just reported that a PVOD release is imminent.
Per their report, the "F1" movie is due for a digital release on Friday, August 22, 2025.
WhenToStream.com does note, however, that while their sources have confirmed the above, Apple Studios has made no such announcement. Therefore, we cannot guarantee "F1" will come to PVOD storefronts this coming Friday.
As I mentioned above, Apple Studios has not yet revealed an "F1" streaming date yet, but we can at least expect you'll be able to stream "F1: The Movie" on Apple TV Plus when it arrives.
Unlike with other streaming services, it's a little trickier to predict when "F1" might come to streaming. My best guess right now is that the "F1" movie will be available on Apple TV Plus at some point in fall 2025.
That's not a very precise window, but the wait for past Apple Original Films has varied wildly. For example, we waited 100 days for Ridley Scott's "Napoleon" to come to streaming, 84 days for "Killers of the Flower Moon", and just 70 days for "Argylle" to come to Apple's streaming service.
Greg Berlanti's underrated period romantic comedy "Fly Me to the Moon" took a lot longer, arriving just over four months after it originally premiered.
If we split the difference between and assume an approximate 85-day wait, we might see the "F1" movie streaming on Apple TV Plus on or around September 20, 2025.
Of course, that's just my very unofficial guess. I'll be sure to update this article as and when we get more concrete info or a confirmed "F1" streaming date.
