Apple TV might not have the ‘+’ in its name anymore, but they keep plussing up their offering and adding even more content to make the service better value for money. That means an Apple TV subscription is more appealing than ever.
As well as more originals, Apple is set to dramatically expand the live sports offering available on the service. Here’s what is coming to Apple TV in 2026.
Apple TV+ started in late 2019, six years ago, with a total of 7 original series and a single movie for launch day.
But in the intervening six years, the service has grown a lot. And now it has a new name: simply ‘Apple TV’. Here’s what’s coming in 2026.
More live sports included
Your Apple TV subscription will now get you more for your money, if you are a sports fan.
Perhaps most significantly, Apple TV will launch its Formula 1 coverage next year. This is available to all United States Apple TV subscribers at no extra charge. You will be able to watch the full season, including practice, qualifying sessions, and Sunday race days live and on-demand, through the Apple TV app.
Moreover, all the features of the F1TV service will also continue to be available, simply by signing in to the F1 TV app (or website) using your Apple TV account. That means all the features and content of F1 TV will remain accessible. F1 TV Premium is now just rolled into Apple TV, a service that previously cost $129 a year on its own.
If you like soccer, the Apple TV app is the exclusive home of MLS as well. This used to require a wholly separate $99 MLS Season Pass add-on to watch all games. But new for 2026, Apple has just announced that all MLS broadcasts will be available with just an Apple TV subscription as well.
That means all Apple TV subscribers can now tune in to watch all of the Major League Soccer regular season and playoff games.
