The FIA has announced the race start times for the 2026 Formula 1 season.
Kicking off with the Australian Grand Prix from March 6-8 and concluding at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix across the weekend of December 4-6, the 24-race campaign will see the sport visit five of the world’s seven continents.
In a year that will feature new technical regulations and 100% advanced sustainable fuels, the calendar also sees further improvements to the geographical flow of races, with Canada now following Miami in an earlier slot which creates a consolidated European leg of the season across the summer months.
Meanwhile the Sprint is set to feature at six race weekends in 2026, including three new Sprint locations.
