Joseph Kosinski’s highly anticipated sports drama F1: The Movie is just around the corner, and now is the perfect time for audiences to get their tickets to experience this high-octane blockbuster on opening weekend. The movie marks Kosinski’s big comeback following the immense success of Top Gun: Maverick just three years ago, featuring Brad Pitt as an esteemed F1 driver who enters a dangerous rivalry with an ambitious young racer (Damson Idris). F1 is one of 2025’s most anticipated releases and has drummed up significant buzz, and it’s not long until general audiences will get to see the movie for themselves.
F1 has opened to excellent reviews from those who’ve been lucky enough to watch it early, with many critics praising Kosinski’s dynamic action sequences and Pitt’s compelling lead performance. Though most agree that it doesn’t quite reach the heights of Top Gun: Maverick, the film seems to be a worthy installment in Kosinski’s adrenaline-inducing filmography. Thankfully, those who won’t have the opportunity to catch F1 during its theatrical run won’t have to wait too long to watch the movie at home, as the film’s streaming release shouldn’t be too far away.

Thankfully, it won’t be long at all before audiences are able to watch Kosinski’s upcoming sports drama on the big screen.

The movie has a runtime of just over 2.5 hours, and its PG-13 rating (for strong language and action) makes it the perfect movie for teenagers and adults alike.

When Will F1: The Movie Release On Streaming?
The Film Is Expected To Land On Apple TV+ This Fall
Since Kosinski’s movie is being released by Apple Studios, it’s safe to ᴀssume that F1: The Movie will eventually land on Apple TV+ following its theatrical run. Apple takes a unique approach to its original movies, as they are often intended to be big-screen spectacles, but their eventual streaming release helps to alleviate any potential disappointment at the box office. Although F1’s large-scale action set pieces are tailor-made for the big-screen experience, some audiences may want to wait to catch this blockbuster from the comfort of their own home, a trend that’s become increasingly common in recent years.
Apple Studios’ movie releases typically have around a 100-day window between their theatrical release dates and their arrival on Apple TV+, meaning that fans should expect F1: The Movie to come to the service in early October. This window can be smaller or larger depending on the project; last year, Argylle landed on streaming after just 70 days, while Fly Me to the Moon took over twice as long with 147 days. Apple will likely want F1 to drum up significant buzz in theaters before turning it to streaming.
When Will F1: The Movie Release On Digital?
Audiences Can Pay Earlier To Watch The Film At Home
Typically, Apple Studios has a very impressive turnaround for their digital release dates. This refers to the date when movies are available to watch on services like Prime Video or Apple TV for an additional fee, typically around $10-$20 to rent or purchase. This date usually lands approximately 40 days after a movie’s theatrical release, which should be in the first week of August for F1: The Movie. It can close out the summer at home after a potentially strong run in theaters. Thankfully, there are plenty of great sports movies to watch before F1 for those who are going to miss the film’s theatrical run.
