Coming Soon: What’s Next on Apple TV and Apple Arcade in June 2026

It’s a new month, Apple has a slate of new and returning TV shows, new Arcade games are on the way, and Formula 1 is heading to Europe, which means it’s time for a roundup of everything coming to Apple TV and Apple Arcade in June 2026.

Let’s dive in.

Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is debuting four new games tomorrow:

Coffee Inc 2+ (June 4)

Coffee Inc 2+ is a business simulation game where you build and manage your own coffee shop. You set the pricing, order supplies, handle marketing and advertising, and more with the goal of growing from one shop to a chain of stores.

Mini Football Legends (June 4)

Mini Football Legends is an arcade-style soccer game where your job is to build, train, and manage your team. The game is a great fit with the FIFA World Cup coming to the U.S. this month.

My Talking Tom 2+ and FreeCell Solitaire: Card Game+ (June 4)

Rounding out the month are two more App Store favorites adapted for Arcade. My Talking Tom 2+ is the virtual pet sequel starring Tom, a cartoon cat, that features mini-games and a care-and-feeding loop that has made the series a hit. FreeCell Solitaire: Card Game+ is coming to Arcade, too, featuring the classic single-player card game.

Apple TV Shows and Movies

Cape Fear (June 5)

The show I’m looking forward to most this month is Cape Fear, a ten-episode psychological horror thriller inspired by the 1991 Martin Scorsese movie. The series tells the story of Max Cady, a convicted murderer recently released from prison, who begins infiltrating the lives of the attorneys who put him there. The series is showrun and executive produced by Nick Antosca, with Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg among its executive producers.

Coming Soon: What’s Next on Apple TV and Apple Arcade in May 2026

It’s a new month and it’s F1 season, which means it’s time for a roundup of everything coming to Apple TV and Apple Arcade in May 2026.

This month we’re adding F1 and other sports airing on Apple TV this month, starting with tomorrow’s Miami Grand Prix, and continuing below with the Canadian Grand Prix and Friday Night Baseball at the end of the month.

Let’s dive in.

Apple Arcade

Apple Arcade is debuting four games this month on Thursday, May 7:

Perchang World (Release Date: May 7)

The game I’m most excited about this month is Perchang World, an update to a classic indie game first released about a decade ago. The version debuting on Apple Arcade for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV is an evolution of the original physics puzzler that requires you to use a variety of switches and platforms to guide balls through the game’s brightly-colored, playful environments. The game is narrated by British comedian James Acaster, who judging from the game’s trailer, adds a great sense of humor and fun.

Finally, Good Pizza, Great Pizza+ is an adaptation of an App Store game, but without In-App Purchases. The game is a cooking simulator where your goal is to take orders, bake pizzas and get them to customers.

Round 5 of the 2026 Formula 1 season will take place against the skyline of Montreal, Canada from May 22-24. The semi-permanent 4.36 km track is on Île Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the St. Lawrence River. F1 racing on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve began in the late 70s and has a reputation of unpredictable weather that can cause chaos on the track.

Apple Strikes Broadcast Deal with F1

Apple announced today that it will be the exclusive U.S. broadcaster for Formula 1 racing. The five-year deal begins next year and will also include integrations with Apple News, Maps, Music, and Fitness+.

Eddy Cue, Apple’s senior vice president of Services, said of the deal:

We’re thrilled to expand our relationship with Formula 1 and offer Apple TV subscribers in the U.S. front-row access to one of the most exciting and fastest-growing sports on the planet. 2026 marks a transformative new era for Formula 1, from new teams to new regulations and cars with the best drivers in the world, and we look forward to delivering premium and innovative fan-first coverage to our customers in a way that only Apple can.

Apple says that its streaming subscribers will have access to all practice, qualifying, Sprint sessions, and Grands Prix and that certain races and practice sessions will be available for free in the TV app. Apple TV subscribers will also have exclusive access to F1 TV Premium, F1’s premium content service, at no extra cost. Apple says it will release more information about F1 product integrations in the coming months.

This deal has been rumored for a long time and makes a lot of sense for Apple, which has been working to add internationally popular sports to its lineup for some time. Along with MLS and select weekly baseball games, the company has a much more robust sports package than ever before, which should make Apple TV attractive to a broader audience.
