File Photo by Greg Nash/UPI | License Photo June 10 (UPI) -- A new date for Monaco and the addition of the Madrid Grand Prix highlight the 2026 Formula 1 schedule, which was released Tuesday. The 24-race campaign will start in Melbourne with the March 8 Australian Grand Prix and end with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Dec. 6 at Yas Marina Circuit. The full 2026 schedule is listed below. Formula 1 president and CEO Stefano Domenicali cited new regulations and the introduction of 100% sustainable fuel that will make 2026 a "new era for Formula 1." "We are excited to welcome Madrid to the calendar, and to see huge automotive brands like Audi, Cadillac and Ford join the Formula 1 grid," Domenicali said in a news release. "It promises to be an unforgettable season, where once again we will come together at 24 amazing global venues to watch the best drivers in the world push themselves to the limit and produce incredible wheel to wheel racing for our millions of fans watching around the globe. "I want to thank all our fans for their passionate support and the FIA, with all the volunteers, marshals and officials, as well as the promoters, partners, sponsors, host cities and the local motor racing federations for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule in what I know will be another historic year for Formula 1." The Formula 1 schedule will continue with stops in China, Japan, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. The 2026 Miami Grand Prix will be the first U.S.-based race of the season. That event will be held May 3 in Miami Gardens, Fla. The circuit will head to Montreal for the May 24 Canada Grand Prix. Monaco will host the next race, shifting dates from its traditional late May Grand Prix setup to June 7. Races will follow in Spain, Australia, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Hungary, the Netherlands and Italy. The Spanish Grand Prix -- which replaces the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix -- will be held Sept. 13 in Madrid. The 17th and 18th races will be held in Azerbaijan and Singapore, respectively. The United States Grand Prix will then be held Oct. 25 in Austin, Texas. The final U.S.-based race will be held Nov. 21 in Las Vegas. "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," FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said. "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."

Formula 1 confirms 2026 calendar with Madrid debut and iconic circuit dropped
There will now be an uninterrupted European section next year with the Madrid Grand Prix, confirmed to host the Spanish Grand Prix until at least 2035, concluding that section of the schedule. Held on 11-13 September, Madrid joins Barcelona, in its final year of its contract on 12-14 June, as the second race in Spain, with the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola in Italy being cut from the current calendar to ensure the season continues with 24 races. Under pressure to streamline transport and reduce carbon emissions, F1 has made a number of changes. Canada has been moved up to 22-24 May, with Monaco likely to fill its place in the first weeks of June, thus allowing Canada to follow Miami on 1-3 May to allow for 'significant freight efficiencies as some equipment can move directly from one to the other'. F1 will remain in Europe from Monaco in the first week of June through to Madrid on 13 September, before moving to Azerbaijan on 25-27 September. This streamlined schedule comes amid the new rules in the sport for revised engines to run on 100 per cent sustainable fuels. The moves are in line with F1's new rules, in which revised engines run on 100% sustainable fuels. The season begins in Melbourne, Australia, on 6-8 March, and will conclude once again in Abu Dhabi on 4-6 December, while the British Grand Prix will be held on 3-5 July. After Imola's departure, 2026 will see the final appearance of the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort on 21-23 August. 2026 F1 calendar Australia - 6-8 March China - 13-15 March Japan - 27-29 March Bahrain - 10-12 April Saudi Arabia - 17-19 April ADVERTISEMENT Learn more Miami - 1-3 May Canada - 22-24 May Monaco - 5-7 June Spain (Barcelona) - 12-14 June Austria - 26-28 June Great Britain - 3-5 July Belgium - 17-19 July Hungary - 24-26 July Netherlands - 21-23 August Italy - 4-6 September Spain (Madrid) - 11-13 September Azerbaijan - 25-27 September Singapore - 9-11 October United States (Austin) - 23-25 October Mexico - 30 October-1 November Brazil - 6-8 November Las Vegas - 19-21 November Qatar - 27-29 November Abu Dhabi - 4-6 December

Madrid makes debut as Imola dropped from 2026
The race in Madrid will run on a new 5.47km circuit around the Ifema exhibition centre between the Spanish capital and Barajas airport [Getty Images] The new Madrid Grand Prix will be held as the final race of an uninterrupted European section of the Formula 1 season next year. Madrid, to be held on 11-13 September, will be a second race in Spain and replaces the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola in Italy in a schedule that remains at 24 races. Advertisement Madrid's debut is one of a number of changes, most of which have been made in an attempt to streamline transport and reduce carbon emissions. Canada, traditionally held in early June, has moved to 22-24 May, the date that would have been expected to be filled by Monaco, which will now be held on 5-7 June. The switch ensures that Canada follows the Miami race on 1-3 May, creating what F1 describes as "significant freight efficiencies as some equipment can move directly from one to the other". Every race from Monaco on the first weekend in June to Madrid is then in Europe, before the Azerbaijan event on 25-27 September kicks off the final intercontinental part of the season. Advertisement The moves are in line with F1's new rules, in which revised engines run on 100% sustainable fuels. The season starts in Melbourne, Australia, on 6-8 March. The Bahrain Grand Prix, which has become the most common opening race, is again in April as a result of the timing of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Bahrain and the Saudi Arabian race will be held a week apart, but unlike this year there is a two-week gap between the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix in March after Australia, rather than the one of this season. The British Grand Prix will be held on 3-5 July, and the season will mark the final appearance of the Dutch Grand Prix. It will be held at Zandvoort on 21-23 August. Advertisement The traditional Spanish race at Barcelona retains its place on 12-14 June as it fulfils the last year of its existing contract. The season ends with two groups of three races on consecutive weekends - the US Grand Prix in Austin on 23-25 October followed by Mexico and Brazil, and then the Las Vegas Grand Prix on 19-21 November followed by Qatar and Abu Dhabi, which brings the season to a close on 4-6 December. 2026 F1 calendar Australia - 6-8 March China - 13-15 March Japan - 27-29 March Bahrain - 10-12 April Saudi Arabia - 17-19 April Miami - 1-3 May Canada - 22-24 May Monaco - 5-7 June Spain (Barcelona) - 12-14 June Advertisement Austria - 26-28 June Great Britain - 3-5 July Belgium - 17-19 July Hungary - 24-26 July Netherlands - 21-23 August Italy - 4-6 September Spain (Madrid) - 11-13 September Azerbaijan - 25-27 September Singapore - 9-11 October United States (Austin) - 23-25 October Mexico - 30 October-1 November Brazil - 6-8 November Las Vegas - 19-21 November Qatar - 27-29 November Abu Dhabi - 4-6 December
