Formula 1 and the FIA have confirmed the schedule for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship. The 24-race campaign will begin in Melbourne on the weekend of March 6–8 and wrap up under the lights of Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi from December 4–6.
The 2026 season will mark a major shift with the introduction of new technical regulations and 100% advanced sustainable fuels, part of F1's ongoing commitment to a greener future.
Due to Ramadan falling across February and March, both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix have been scheduled for April. Meanwhile, the calendar has been refined to improve logistical efficiency. For example, the Canadian Grand Prix now follows Miami in May, allowing for streamlined freight movement between the two North American rounds.
The traditional European leg of the season will begin in Monaco (June 5–7) and extend through to the Spanish Grand Prix, which sees Madrid debut as a new host city from September 11–13, pending final circuit homologation by the FIA. This means Spain will host two races in 2026, with Barcelona-Catalunya still holding a slot in June.
