Miami, FL. – Commencing in Australia from 6 to 8 March, the calendar, which has been approved by the FIA World Motor Sport Council, will include 24 races, with the season concluding in Abu Dhabi from 4 to 6 December. In 2026, Ramadan will take place throughout February and March, resulting in the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix being scheduled for April once again.
“Next year’s FIA Formula One World Championship marks a significant new chapter for our sport. A new race, new teams, and the arrival of new manufacturers, all ushering in a fresh era of innovation and competition. With 24 Grands Prix across five continents, the season truly reflects the global nature of our community, while the improved geographical flow of the calendar shows our joint commitment to making the championship more efficient and sustainable,” Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, said. “The debut of Madrid, the arrival of iconic brands like Audi, Cadillac, and Ford, and the introduction of the next generation of F1 cars powered by 100% advanced sustainable fuels signal an exciting new era of racing. My thanks to everyone involved in putting on this incredible season and in delivering a calendar that continues to drive the sport forward on all fronts. And, my thanks to the fans whose passion and unwavering support keep the spirit of our sport alive.”

The 2026 calendar features enhancements to the geographical scheduling of events, including the Canadian Grand Prix now positioned after the Miami race in a earlier timeslot from May 22–24. This adjustment facilitates improved freight logistics, allowing certain equipment to be transported directly between the events.
“2026 will be a new era for Formula 1 where we will witness a brand-new set of regulations for our sport, the cars and the engines that will be powered by 100% sustainable fuel. We are excited to welcome Madrid to the calendar, and to see huge automotive brands like Audi, Cadillac and Ford join the Formula 1 grid,” Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said. “It promises to be an unforgettable season, where once again we will come together at 24 amazing global venues to watch the best drivers in the world push themselves to the limit and produce incredible wheel to wheel racing for our millions of fans watching around the globe. I want to thank all our fans for their passionate support and the FIA, with all the volunteers, marshals and officials, as well as the promoters, partners, sponsors, host cities and the local motor racing federations for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule in what I know will be another historic year for Formula 1.”
This update establishes a unified European segment of the season during the summer months, starting in Monaco from June 5-7 and concluding in Spain, where Madrid will host its first Formula 1 race from September 11-13. The championship then proceeds to Asia with the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grands Prix, followed by a triple-header in the Americas. The season will then conclude with events in Las Vegas, Qatar, and Abu Dhabi.
