Formula 1 gets Dolby Atmos support on Apple TV starting today

Apple TV subscribers in the US can now watch Formula 1 live in Dolby Atmos, starting with this weekend’s Grand Prix. Here is the schedule.

Earlier this month, Apple and Dolby Laboratories announced that Formula 1 coverage on Apple TV would receive Dolby Atmos support starting at the United States Grand Prix weekend on October 23.

And while the first practice ended a few hours ago, Apple TV subscribers can still watch today’s second practice, plus tomorrow’s practice and qualifying sessions, and Sunday’s race.

Here is the full schedule:

Here’s Apple’s take on what to expect from the first Formula 1 race to be broadcast in Dolby Atmos:

Dolby Atmos surrounds fans with the sounds of race weekend, from team radio and commentary to roaring engines, on-track battles, and pit-lane intensity. Paired with Dolby Vision’s rich colors and vivid clarity, the combination delivers exceptional sound and spectacular visuals that put fans at the heart of the action.

To celebrate the United States Grand Prix, Apple will host a live screening of Sunday’s race at its Domain NORTHSIDE store in Austin, Texas.

The store also welcomed Apple CEO John Ternus and retail chief Deirdre O’Brien earlier today for the launch of the iPhone Duo.

Apple also recently expanded its Detailed City Experience and Apple Maps to Austin and added a detailed map of the Circuit of The Americas with turn numbers, grandstands, 3D landmarks, and other information to help fans navigate the venue.
