2026 Formula 1 Calendar: Dates and Circuits Revealed

The 2026 Formula 1 World Championship will run a packed 24-race calendar from early March to early December, spanning five continents and mixing iconic tracks with exciting new venues. The season kicks off with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne from 6-8 March, followed by races in Shanghai, China, and Suzuka, Japan, setting the tone for an action-packed start.

Throughout spring and summer, the grid heads to traditional European circuits, including Monaco, Barcelona-Catalunya, Silverstone, Spa-Francorchamps, and Zandvoort, alongside stops in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Miami, and Montreal. One of the highlights of 2026 is the debut of a second Spanish round in Madrid on the new Madring street circuit, which replaces the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola and represents a key step in F1’s urban expansion.

The autumn stretch includes Singapore, Austin, Mexico City, and São Paulo, before a Middle East finale with back-to-back races in Las Vegas (19-21 November) and Qatar (27-29 November), concluding under lights at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi (4-6 December). Pre-season testing takes place in Bahrain during February, giving teams their first runs under the new technical and sustainable fuel regulations.

Overall, the 2026 season promises a blend of tradition and innovation, making it one of the most eagerly awaited campaigns in recent Formula 1 history.
