Who can watch the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix on Netflix?

The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix live stream on Netflix will only be available in one region, and that is the United States. This was reportedly decided as part of Netflix’s earlier deal with Apple. However, fans outside the U.S. can still watch the event live on Apple TV.

Since Apple TV is the exclusive U.S. broadcaster of Formula One, it will continue to live-stream all the races for this year. As for those who may miss the live coverage, the race will reportedly remain available to watch later. As per What’s on Netflix, the streaming giant will not remove the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix from its platform until the end of the current F1 season. And if this live stream becomes a success this year, it will likely pave the way for more to come.
