F1 The 2026 Formula One season will kick off in Melbourne in March and again feature 24 races as Madrid arrives on the calendar.
-
The Australian Grand Prix gets the new campaign up and running on the weekend of March 6-8 and it will once again conclude in Abu Dhabi on December 4-6.
Madrid, which last hosted an F1 race in 1981, enters the schedule on September 11-13.
The new 'Madring' circuit, featuring both street and non-street sections, is under construction and will be the only new venue on the calendar in 2026.
It replaces the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at Imola, which drops off the 24-race list after Max Verstappen's victory in May.
It will also be one of two races in Spain with Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya remaining on the agenda for next season - at least - over the weekend of June 12-14.
