Formula 1: Drive to Survive Season 8 is arriving on Apple TV and Netflix Feb. 27

The drama, high-octane excitement, and danger of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” is returning for an eighth season on Netflix on Friday, Feb. 27. In a first for the reality series, it will also stream on Apple TV simultaneously! All episodes will be available to stream on both platforms as of Feb. 27, and while we know it isn’t the traditional home of the show, we actually recommend watching “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” with a subscription to Apple TV.

How to watch ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ Season 8

Everything you need to know about ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’

When do new episodes of ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ Season 8 premiere?

All episodes of “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” Season 8 premiere on both Netflix and Apple TV on Friday, Feb. 27 at 3:01 a.m. ET. The show follows a binge release model, so no need to wait multiple weeks for all episodes to drop.

Why do we recommend watching ‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive’ Season 8 on Apple TV?

Watching “Formula 1: Drive to Survive” on Netflix is a perfectly viable option; we certainly don’t recommend canceling a Netflix subscription and switching to Apple TV to watch the show. But F1 fans who don’t already have Netflix would do well to consider the Apple streamer instead.

That’s because Apple TV has no ads during playback on its $13-per-month plan, so viewers won’t have to wrangle with commercials as they binge. Plus, Apple TV is home to live Formula 1 racing starting in 2026, so audiences will be able to see the drama of last season unfold behind the scenes as well as live races all on the same platform. Finally, Apple TV is the exclusive streaming home of “F1,” the new blockbuster film starring Brad Pitt.

Apple TV

Apple TV (formerly known as Apple TV+) is a subscription video streaming service for $14.99 per month, offering a growing slate of original series, films, documentaries, and specials. Unlike other platforms that combine licensed titles with originals, Apple TV is built entirely around exclusive programming, making it the home of critically acclaimed hits such as “Ted Lasso,” “Severance,” “The Morning Show,” and “Silo.” Its lineup continues to expand with award-winning dramas, comedies, family-friendly shows, and blockbuster original films like “CODA,” which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

…

In October 2025, Apple TV agreed to a deal with Formula 1 to exclusively broadcast all Formula 1 races starting with the 2026 season.

Apple TV also features coverage of all regular-season matches for Major League Soccer (MLS) at no additional cost.

On August 28th, 2026, the price of Apple TV was increased from $12.99 per month to $14.99 per month, the second increase in as many years.

The service is available worldwide through the Apple TV app, which is built into Apple devices and supported on most smart TVs, streaming players like Roku and Fire TV, game consoles, and web browsers. Subscribers can watch on demand, download episodes and movies for offline viewing, and stream in 4K with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, where available. Apple TV also offers family sharing, allowing up to six people to use one subscription at no extra cost.

With a competitive monthly price and bundles available through Apple One — which combines Apple TV with Apple Music, Apple Arcade, iCloud storage, and more — the service continues to grow as a key part of Apple’s ecosystem. Apple TV delivers one of the strongest collections of exclusive content in the streaming space for viewers seeking prestige originals, cinematic storytelling, and seamless access across devices.
