The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix is over, but fans looking for a free way to watch the race still have an official option. Formula 1 has published race highlights from the Oct. 11 event at Marina Bay, where Max Verstappen claimed victory ahead of Charles Leclerc and Kimi Antonelli.
A full-race replay is also available through subscription services, including Apple TV in the US and F1 TV in supported markets. The distinction is that free highlights don't provide the same coverage as watching the complete Grand Prix.
Apple TV carries the 2026 Formula 1 season for US subscribers at no additional charge. That arrangement is already active, rather than a future change, although an Apple TV subscription is still required.
This guide explains where to watch the Singapore Grand Prix replay, which coverage is available without payment, and how Apple TV and F1 TV compare.
Quick answer: where to watch the Singapore Grand Prix now
The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix took place Sunday, Oct. 11, with the race starting at 8 p.m. local time.
Here are the main viewing options:
Free official highlights: Formula 1 has published race highlights on its website. These cover important moments but don't include the entire Grand Prix.
Apple TV in the US: Subscribers can watch Formula 1 race replays, highlights, and other coverage without an additional F1-specific subscription charge.
F1 TV Pro: Provides full-race replays and additional race content in supported markets, subject to regional availability.
F1 TV Premium: Offers full-race coverage with premium viewing features, including 4K Ultra HD/HDR and Multiview on compatible devices.
Outside the US: Check F1's official broadcaster directory or local rights holder for replay availability.
Formula 1's official Singapore Grand Prix race page confirms that Verstappen won the 62-lap race, finishing 7.335 seconds ahead of Leclerc.
Antonelli completed the podium, finishing 24.573 seconds behind the winner.
How to watch Singapore Grand Prix highlights for free
The simplest option for fans who don't want a subscription is Formula 1's official highlights coverage.
F1 published its 2026 Singapore Grand Prix race highlights on Oct. 11.
The approximately eight-minute video covers important incidents and the race's main developments, including Verstappen's victory.
To watch:
Open Formula 1's official website.
Navigate to the Singapore Grand Prix race page or its video section.
Select the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix race highlights.
Play the video, subject to any regional access restrictions.
Formula 1 also publishes separate highlights for qualifying, Sprint Qualifying, and the Sprint race.
According to its official video library, the available Singapore coverage includes race highlights, driver interviews, onboard moments, and post-race analysis.
These videos offer a legitimate way to catch up without signing up for a full live-streaming package. However, availability can differ by region and individual video.
Free highlights are not the same as a full-race replay. Anyone hoping to watch every lap, pit stop, and strategy decision will need to check the full replay options below.
Apple TV: how the US Formula 1 deal works
Apple TV is now Formula 1's official US broadcaster.
The agreement covers the 2026 season, including every Grand Prix, practice session, qualifying session, and Sprint.
According to Apple's official Formula 1 viewing guide, complete race coverage is included with an Apple TV subscription.
That means eligible US subscribers don't need to pay an additional F1-specific fee to access the races.
However, this isn't a free streaming service for everyone. Viewers still need an active Apple TV subscription or another qualifying access arrangement.
Apple also confirms that its F1 coverage includes race highlights and replays, allowing subscribers to watch events after their original broadcast.
For the Singapore Grand Prix, US viewers can:
Open the Apple TV app or website.
Sign in with an active subscription.
Find Formula 1 in the sports section.
Locate the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.
Select the available race replay or highlights.
Apple advertises 4K coverage and Multiview support for Formula 1 across compatible devices.
The service also carries additional programming and features that make it a more comprehensive option than watching short official highlights alone.
Fans should confirm current subscription pricing and any trial eligibility directly through Apple. A subscription benefit isn't the same as a universally free broadcast, and trial offers can have eligibility restrictions.
How to watch the full Singapore Grand Prix replay on F1 TV
F1 TV remains another official option for watching the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix, although availability depends on where you live.
In its Singapore Grand Prix streaming guide, Formula 1 confirms that F1 TV Pro provides coverage of every session, including practice, qualifying, Sprint events, and the Grand Prix.
F1 TV also offers race replays and additional programming.
To check whether the Singapore Grand Prix replay is available in your region:
Visit the official F1 TV website or open its app.
Check the subscription plans available in your country.
Sign in with an eligible account.
Search for the 2026 Singapore Grand Prix.
Open the race replay or another available session.
F1 TV Pro supports several major streaming platforms, including Apple TV devices, Android TV, Google TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and compatible Chromecast devices.
Availability and replay restrictions vary by country, so viewers should check their regional catalog before subscribing.
The Singapore Grand Prix race replay is listed in F1 TV's official event library alongside qualifying, Sprint coverage, and post-race programming.
F1 TV Pro vs Premium: which is worth checking?
F1 TV Pro and Premium offer access to Formula 1 coverage, but Premium adds features designed for viewers who want more control over the presentation.
F1 TV Pro includes:
Full Grand Prix weekend coverage
Access to practice, qualifying, Sprint, and race sessions
Onboard cameras from all 22 drivers
Pre-Race and Post-Race Shows
Race replays and additional Formula 1 programming
F1 TV Premium adds:
4K Ultra HD/HDR on compatible devices
Viewing across up to six devices
Personalized Multiview
Up to 26 selectable feeds on supported hardware
Additional viewing options for following different drivers and race information
Premium is more relevant to viewers who want multiple camera feeds, higher picture quality, and a more customizable experience.
For someone who simply wants to watch the Singapore Grand Prix replay, Pro may already provide the necessary coverage where available.
The distinction is less important for US viewers with Apple TV subscriptions because Apple's current Formula 1 agreement includes complete race coverage and additional viewing features.
Neither F1 TV Pro nor Premium should be described as a universally free option. Subscription prices, payment methods, and regional rights vary.
Watching the Singapore Grand Prix outside the US
Apple's Formula 1 broadcasting agreement specifically covers the US.
Viewers in other countries should check their local Formula 1 broadcaster or the availability of F1 TV Pro and Premium before purchasing a subscription.
Formula 1 maintains an official broadcaster directory listing television and streaming rights holders across international markets.
Those broadcasters may offer different packages, including live race coverage, delayed replays, highlights, or access through an existing television subscription.
Some markets may also provide free-to-air highlights or selected race coverage, but that doesn't mean every local broadcaster offers the full Singapore Grand Prix without payment.
A viewer who already has access through a television package may not need another subscription.
Likewise, someone who only wants the major moments can start with Formula 1's official highlights rather than purchasing a replay service.
Don't assume a broadcaster's coverage in one country applies elsewhere. Formula 1 distribution rights are regional, and the available sessions can differ even when the underlying event is the same.
What to watch now
The 2026 Singapore Grand Prix has finished, so the useful decision is whether to watch a free highlights package or the complete race replay.
For a quick catch-up, Formula 1's official race highlights provide the simplest starting point without committing to a subscription.
US viewers with Apple TV already have access to Formula 1 coverage as part of their subscription, including race replays. There's no need to wait for a future F1 TV integration before looking for the Singapore event.
Fans outside the US should compare their local broadcaster's replay availability with F1 TV Pro and Premium before paying for another service.
Verstappen's Singapore victory is already part of the official results, and the next Formula 1 race is the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas on Oct. 23-25.
Anyone looking for live Formula 1 coverage rather than a replay should check the schedule and broadcasting options for that event instead.
