Motorsports Has a Growing TV Accessibility Problem in the U.S.
Formula 1’s move to Apple is a recent example of a rising lack of accessibility.
Formula 1 will move its United States broadcasts from ESPN to Apple TV beginning in 2026.
This creates a huge barrier to viewing F1 races for many American viewers, as now they will have to purchase the Apple TV app in order to watch all 24 races next season instead of being able to easily watch them on cable television.
Younger audiences may be more open to utilizing streaming platforms, but this move alienates a portion of the fanbase who is either unable or unwilling to move to streaming.
By moving to streaming only, F1 is alienating a portion of its fanbase.
