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.
Check out the table below for a full list of timings.
