Apple TV+ F1 content not loading with US ID in UK

I need some troubleshooting help. I have Apple TV + for the new F1 channel but when I try to click one of the videos, it said that "there is a problem loading this content." I am in the UK, however my Apple ID, and therefor my subscriptions are US based as well as my payment method, so that shouldn't be a problem.



iPhone Air, iOS 26

Hey, not sure whether you are using a VPN or not?


As Sky own the rights to distribute/broadcast F1 in the UK, Apple will not let you watch F1 content in the UK regardless of where your Apple Account was created.


I ran into the same issue using F1 TV Pro a while ago as I had bought it while in the Netherlands but it did not work once I returned to the UK. Using a VPN and using a server based in the Netherlands circumvented this issue. Might be worth a try here? :)
