**Presented by** [**Apple TV**](https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.241000?itscg=30200&itsct=therace%5Fformula%5F1&at=1010l3dvX&ref=the-race.com)

Expect drama as Formula 1® heads to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix as the next stop on the 2026 calendar.

The epic street track offers a huge contrast in challenges for the drivers - from the flat-out slipstreaming of the ultra-long run past the pits, to the sinuous twists between the walls, including the tricky Castle section that has caught out so many drivers.

Kimi Antonelli is - at least according to his rivals - now unbeatable in the championship race, but the excitement going into each weekend is undiminished as McLaren bids to keep up its recent winning form, and with George Russell and Ferrari desperate to get out of their current slumps.

Something unusual for this weekend is that the whole schedule shifts forward by one day so the grand prix can take place on the Saturday, leaving Sunday clear for Azerbaijan's national Remembrance Day.

Below you'll find the all-important session times for the weekend, as well as all the information on where to watch the action on [Apple TV](https://tv.apple.com/channel/tvs.sbd.241000?itscg=30200&itsct=therace%5Fformula%5F1&at=1010l3dvX&ref=the-race.com).
