The Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix are both scheduled for April, as the holy month of Ramadan will end in March.
In a significant change, the Canadian Grand Prix has been moved forward by a month from its traditional June slot to May 24th. After that, the championship heads to Europe in June, starting with the Monaco Grand Prix on June 5th.
Spain will host two Grands Prix in 2026. Madrid will debut as a new venue, featuring a 5.4 km street circuit named "Madring", with its race scheduled for September 11th–13th.
Meanwhile, the iconic Imola circuit for the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix has been dropped from the 2026 calendar.
The season will once again conclude in the Middle East, with Abu Dhabi hosting the final round, as usual.
