Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck no. Why can't we just have global F1 TV.
You can watch MLS anywhere in the world that Apple TV+ is available. It would undoubtedly be the same with F1.
F1 TV Pro > any other broadcast of F1
As an F1 TV PRO subscriber, I agree. I donโt think much would change from it if Apple were to be successful with this bid though. They put a lot of time and effort into making MLS successful, and my only complaint so far is the back catalog is a bit lacking, but that may be MLSโs fault.
Unless they purchase exclusivity rights then you won't be able to subscribe to it.
Unfortunately I live in a country where F1 TV Pro cannot be purchased because of exclusivity deals and so I have to navigate the wavey seas to access it. They've been tightening up people's abilities to stream the content non-legitimately these past few years. It's been becoming more and more difficult; this year, if I wasn't technically minded then I would have to fall back on to ace streams or those websites that share the stream with a shocking amount of adverts and other 'fun' things. I foresee that in the near future it'll be even stricter and I'll completely lose access to F1 TV Pro. :(
The annoying thing is that I'd quite happily be a paying customer... if only they would allow me to be one.
There is a webpage on F1's website that shows which countries have access to what, when, and how long for.
My understanding is this would be a rolling pick up. Essentially Apple would gain more exclusive broadcast rights as old deals expired. As soon as rights are gained in countries where Apple TV+ is available then it would also be available for purchase.
