The 2026 Formula 1 season is set to be one of the most transformative in the sport’s 75-year history. With a record-tying 24-race schedule, the debut of a brand-new street circuit in Madrid, and the arrival of massive automotive brands like Audi and Ford, the stage is set for an unforgettable year.
The calendar has been specifically redesigned to improve geographical flow, such as moving the Canadian Grand Prix to May to pair with Miami, reducing the paddock’s carbon footprint.
