Chicago race-day FAQ

What time does the F1 race start in Chicago?

For the British Grand Prix, lights out is 9:00 AM Central Time on Sunday. European rounds like Silverstone start in the morning here, Asia-Pacific races run late night, and the US races land in comfortable afternoon slots.

Where can I actually see the broadcast in 2026?

In the US, live F1 airs exclusively on Apple TV in 2026 — no cable channel carries it. That's exactly why watch parties matter: the rooms on this page put the full live broadcast on the big screen with sound on.

Do I need to pay or book to join a watch party?

No — RSVPs on WatchF1 are free. They help the venue prep for your crew and count toward your Fan Championship points. Some venues offer reserved crew tables for bigger groups.

What's the Fan Championship?

The season-long title fight for fans: check in on race day, call your podium, keep your streak. Rally the Chicago crew this Sunday and climb the national Crew Cup city standings.
