• 2026 IMAX schedule – Miami (May 3), Monaco (June 7), British (July 5), Italian (Sept 6), United States (Oct 25).
• Partnership – Apple TV secured U.S. F1 rights and teamed with IMAX to broadcast live races in cinemas.

What's next:

The next IMAX screenings will be Monaco on June 7, followed by Silverstone, Monza and the season‑ending Austin race. Apple and IMAX say they’ll gauge fan response and could add more races or qualifying sessions in future seasons.
