F1: The Movie OTT Release Date
You know those movies that seem to live in theatres forever, but suddenly everyone’s waiting to stream them at home? That’s pretty much the story with F1: The Movie, it finally makes its OTT debut on December 12, 2025. Personally, it felt like every F1 and Brad Pitt fan on my street was taking bets on when this thing would hit our living rooms. Turns out, Apple TV (they dropped the “+,” by the way how’s that for rebranding mid-blockbuster?) scored the exclusive. They really made us sweat for it, holding out for a mammoth 170 days after the roaring June theatrical release, but hey, good things, patience, all that.
Where to Watch
The wait’s over if you’ve got Apple TV, you’re set. That’s it. Not Netflix, not HBO. Just Apple TV. There were whispers about early digital rentals and people dropping cash on Prime Video or Amazon after August 22, but “officially free” (as in, included with your subscription and not via a random cousin’s rental) is strictly on Apple. I tried searching for a local friend with an Apple TV subscription, but by now, most movie nights involve someone frantically looking for passwords, oh, modern problems. Anyway, check out Apple TV for that classic “popcorn in pajamas” moment. It’ll be available internationally, not just in the US, so you’re in luck wherever you are.
How to Watch: Fastest Stream Wins
Watching F1: The Movie on OTT is, thankfully, a pit stop kind of easy:
-
Fire up Apple TV on your phone, tablet, smart TV, basically anything but your toaster.
-
Have a subscription (or a seven-day trial; those are still floating around, right?).
-
Search “F1 The Movie.” Hit play.
If you’re still sore about the long cinema wait, maybe take a lap around the block while Hans Zimmer’s roaring soundtrack sets the mood. I’ve got a cousin who literally recreated the opening credits scene in his living room, complete with a hand towel for a helmet. If you haven’t queued up an absurd snack pile, can you even call it OTT night?
For those who love details, here’s the takeaway: Apple TV, December 12, surround sound if you can, and don’t be surprised if this one sparks debates long after the checkered flag drops.
