F1 2026 schedule: Full 24-race calendar including Sprint dates
Your guide to the F1 2026 race calendar.
The Formula 1 calendar looks tantalising in 2026 as drivers prepare for another globe-trotting tour of 24 circuits across the world.
The race calendar has only experienced one amendment from last season: a street circuit in Madrid is in, Imola is out. That news will disappoint many who enjoy the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, but Madrid will have a chance to earn credibility this summer.
Of course, many fans will be nervously skimming the schedule for F1-related updates given recent events in Iran. Doubt has been cast over two early races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, while Qatar and UAE host the final two races at the end of the year. All four nations have been targeted by missile strikes, but it remains to be seen whether this will impact the F1 calendar.
The season kicks off in Australia before zipping across the globe prior to the European summer leg. A familiar final straight will see drivers negotiate Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi to be crowned king of the grid. Will Lando Norris be among the frontrunners once again?
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about the F1 calendar in 2026, including a full race schedule.
