The FIA and Formula 1 have revealed the schedule of races for the 2026 F1 season.
While the series introduces new technical regulations next year, the 2026 F1 calendar will be much the same as this year’s 24-round schedule. The main change, announced last year, is the addition of a new round in Spain on a temporary circuit in Madrid.
The first Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring will be held in September. The race’s current venue, the Circuit de Catalunya, will hold a race in its usual early summer slot. No title has yet been announced for this round, which is the last on the Barcelona circuit’s current contract.
Zandvoort is also due to hold its final race in 2026. The Dutch Grand Prix will not return in 2027 as the organisers have not agreed a new deal with F1.
The only other significant change to the calendar is an earlier date for the Canadian Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. This means it will follow the Miami Grand Prix, allowing F1 to reduce the distance covered by freight between the two races, held three weeks apart.
Next year’s Canadian Grand Prix will take place on May 24th, the earliest the race has ever been held. The race has never previously taken place in May, when the average temperature in Montreal is 15C, peaking at 20C.
As was the case this year, the season will open with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and conclude with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in Yas Marina.

“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,” said FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. “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.”
The schedules for the 2026 Formula 2 and Formula 3 seasons have also been confirmed. As previously announced, both series will join F1 for its new race at Madring in Spain, which will serve as the finale for the F3 series.
