Apple TV Price 2026: $14.99 a Month, Yearly Plan, F1 and Bundles

Apple TV costs $14.99 a month in the US, as shown on Apple's Apple TV page when we checked on 23 October 2026. Apple raised it from $12.99 at the end of August 2026, and the yearly plan went from $99 to $119. New and qualified returning subscribers get a 7-day free trial, and anyone who buys a new Apple device can claim 3 months free.

The price now covers live sport as well as Apple's own shows: Formula 1 races, MLS matches and Friday Night Baseball are included at no extra cost. If you also want music, games or another streaming service, Apple One (from $21.95) or the Apple TV and Peacock bundle (from $17.99) can work out cheaper than paying for each one.

Apple TV prices and ways to get it (US)#

US prices before tax. Apple's own page lists the monthly price, trials and Apple One plans; the yearly price comes from coverage of the August 2026 increase, so confirm it in Settings before you buy. The Apple TV subscription does not include third-party channels you add through the Apple TV app, which are billed separately.

Monthly or yearly: which costs less?#

Twelve monthly payments come to 12 × $14.99 = $179.88. The yearly plan costs $119, which is $60.88 less. The break-even point is eight months: eight monthly payments already cost $119.92. If you would keep Apple TV for at least eight months of the year, the yearly plan wins. If you subscribe for one series and cancel, pay monthly.

Existing subscribers do not move to the new price straight away. Coverage of the increase says Apple notifies current subscribers about a month before they are charged the higher rate.

F1, MLS and baseball on Apple TV#

Since 2026, Apple TV is the US home of Formula 1. According to Apple's announcement, subscribers can watch every practice, qualifying, Sprint and race session, and F1 TV Premium is included at no extra cost in the US, along with Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 Academy and Porsche Supercup through the F1 TV app. Multiview works on Apple TV 4K, iPad and Apple Vision Pro. MLS matches and Friday Night Baseball are also part of the subscription.

For an F1 fan, the yearly plan fits the season well. Paying monthly from the first race weekend in March to the end of the season in December is ten payments, or $149.90, against $119 for the year. Outside the US, F1 is not on Apple TV, so our guide to F1 TV Pro prices covers the options in other countries.

When a bundle beats Apple TV on its own#

Apple One Individual makes sense if you already pay for Apple Music. Apple TV ($14.99), Apple Music ($11.99) and 50 GB of iCloud+ ($0.99) cost $27.97 a month separately, against $21.95 for Apple One with Apple Arcade added. That is $6.02 a month, or $72.24 a year, less. If you only use Apple TV, Apple One costs more. Our iCloud+ guide explains which storage tier you actually need.

Apple TV and Peacock costs $17.99 a month with Peacock Premium, while the two separately cost $14.99 + $12.99 = $27.98. With Peacock Premium Plus the bundle is $22.99 against $34.98 separately. Both prices rose on 1 September 2026, and the bundle can be bought from Apple or Peacock.

Students should look at the Apple Music Student Plan at $6.99 a month, which Apple says comes with Apple TV.

Who should pay for Apple TV, and who should skip it#

• Worth it: US Formula 1 fans, people who watch several Apple Originals a year, and Apple Music subscribers who can switch to Apple One.
• Use the trial or device offer first: anyone curious about one series. A new iPhone, iPad or Mac often brings 3 free months.
• Probably skip: viewers who mainly want a large back catalogue of films and older shows. Apple TV focuses on its own productions, so a service with a bigger library may suit you better; compare them in our streaming deals comparison.

How to cancel or change your Apple TV plan#

1. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions.
2. Choose Apple TV. From here you can switch between monthly and yearly, or cancel.
3. If you subscribed through Apple One or a bundle, manage that plan instead, since Apple TV is part of it.

Cancelling stops the next renewal; you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. If you cancel during a free trial, access usually ends straight away.

Apple TV has also run Black Friday offers: in 2025 it cost $5.99 a month for six months. Our Black Friday streaming guide tracks what services offer this year.
