Apple TV Black Friday Deal: Save Over Fifty Percent

Good news for USA F1 fans: Apple TV+ is slashing its monthly subscription price by over 50% for Black Friday, offering new and eligible returning U.S. subscribers just $5.99 per month for the first six months—down from the standard $12.99.

This promo, which runs through December 1, 2025, at 8 p.m. PT, delivers nearly $40 in savings and instant access to Apple TV+’s acclaimed library of originals like Severance, Ted Lasso, and Slow Horses, plus premium movies such as the newly released The Family Plan 2 and the Brad Pitt-starring F1: The Movie (streaming debut December 12, 2025).

No annual commitment is required; it’s billed monthly, and family sharing supports up to six users at no extra cost.

Announced amid the excitement of the 2025 F1 season’s finale—where McLaren’s Lando Norris is chasing his first Drivers’ Championship—the timing couldn’t be better for motorsport enthusiasts. Apple’s aggressive promotion, including a full takeover of the Las Vegas Sphere during the November F1 weekend, ties directly into the sport’s growing U.S. popularity.

Why It’s a Game-Changer for USA-based F1 Fans

The real hook? Starting in 2026, Apple TV+ becomes the exclusive U.S. streaming home for Formula 1 under a five-year, $750 million deal announced in August 2025. This shifts live broadcasts from ESPN, covering all 24 races, including high-profile U.S. events like the Miami and Las Vegas Grands Prix. The discounted six-month window aligns perfectly with the season opener in Australia on March 6, 2026, giving fans coverage of the first seven races (e.g., China, Canada, and Miami) at half price before it auto-renews at full cost.

Bonus perks include F1: The Movie’s streaming arrival, which has already grossed over $629 million at the box office and stayed in theaters for 14 weeks—a testament to F1’s cultural surge in America. Fans on Reddit’s r/F1TV community are buzzing about bundling with Peacock for even more value, but Apple’s standalone deal stands out for its ad-free purity and seamless integration with devices like iPhones and Apple TVs.

Limitations: It’s U.S.-only (VPNs may work for outside the USA when traveling), excludes those eligible for Apple’s three free months via device purchases, and isn’t available through third-party sellers like Amazon. After six months, expect the hike back to $12.99—though you can cancel anytime.

Why U.S. F1 Fans Should Jump on It Now

With the 2025 season wrapping up and 2026’s Apple era looming, this is prime time to lock in savings—especially as streaming prices rose 30% earlier this year. It’s not just about F1; you’ll binge holiday hits like F1: The Movie while prepping for live races. As Tom’s Guide puts it: “When’s the best time to sign up for Apple TV? Right now!” Head to the Apple TV app to snag it before Cyber Monday ends the deal. Don’t let this pit stop pass you by—your front-row seat to Norris, Verstappen, and the grid awaits at a steal.
