  • Formula E unveil 2025/26 Calendar

    Formula E and the FIA have announced the first provisional calendar for the 2025-26 season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship following validation from the FIA’s World Motorsport Council Meeting.

    Featuring its most expensive season yet with 18 races across 12 global cities, highlights include new races in Madrid and Miami’s International Autodrome for the first time.

    The all-electric series’ record-breaking 12th season begins on 6th December 2025 on the vibrant streets of Sao Paulo, before the championship returns to Mexico City in January.

    Formula E then makes its first race appearance at the Miami International Autodrome on 31st January. February sees a nighttime double-header under the lights in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
    While Madrid debuts on the calendar in March at the historic Circuito de Madrid-Jarama – the first time Formula E has race in the Spanish capital.

    Returning venues including Berlin, Tokyo and Shanghai, each hosting double header race weekends, while Monaco continues its role as the jewel in the crown of motorsport, hosting back to back races on the iconic street circuit, only the second time it has hosted World Championship races on consecutive days after it debuted earlier in May this year.

    The season concludes once more in London, with a climatic double-header at the Excel on 15th – 16th August 2026 that will round out the end of the GEN3 Evo era.

    Two further locations to complete the calendar are awaiting public confirmation, as end-stage negotiations are ongoing with local authorities ahead of forthcoming World Motorsport Council Meetings later in the year, when the final calendar will be revealed and ratified.

    This calendar is our most competitive yet, blending exciting new and existing venues with legendary circuits that define Formula E. With greater attention on calendar stability, we’re becoming easier to find, engage with and attend, unlocking greater fan loyalty and love. Our debut in Madrid and increase in total races demonstrates our mission and intent to continually grow the series in key markets, while racing at Miami’s International Autodrome takes our US presence to another level at a world-class facility. As we continue to see year-on-year growth of our global fanbase and TV audiences, this calendar is certain to deliver even more exciting racing from our top tier drivers and teams for our fans to get behind.
    Jeff Dodds, CEO Formula E.

    We’re incredibly proud of the global footprint we’ve built for our 12th season, covering 2025-26. With at least two fantastic new circuits joining the impressive roster, including what will be a home race for myself in Madrid that has long been a goal of mine, we’re enhancing the diversity of what fans can expect while staying true to our DNA with a blend of city street and built circuit venues. It is what makes our racing so exciting and compelling to watch. We’ve carefully curated each leg to minimise our freight, improve sustainability and give fans across the world even more opportunity to tune in and watch no matter the time zone, thanks to our fantastic roster of broadcast partners.
    Alberto Longo, Co-Founder & Chief Championship Officer of Formula E.

    The Season 12 calendar provides a world-class platform to showcase Formula E at its very best whilst offering a balanced presence in different regions, especially in those where the EV industry is developing. With an excellent mix of new circuit venues and returning street racing classics, fans can expect an action-packed season that reflects Formula E’s continued growth and innovation in electric motorsport. The variety of track layouts will also ensure diversified race scenarios with the GEN3 Evo race car.

  • Formula 3 2026 Season Calendar revealed

    FIA Formula 3 and the FIA have announced the calendar for the 2026 FIA Formula 3 Championship, which will a gain comprise of a total of ten rounds, all support events of the FIA Formula 2 Championship and the FIA Formula One World Championship.

    The campaign, approved by the FIA World Motorsport Council, will open overseas in Melbourne Australia early in March before flying to the Bahrain International Circuit mid-April.

    The F3 field will then head back to Europe for its third round in the prestigious streets of Monte Carlo, in early June. That same month, there will be two more race weekends, the first in Barcelona-Catalunya and two weeks later at Spielberg, Austria.

    July will open at Silverstone, UK, which will be followed by Spa-Francorchamps and Budapest.

    The eighth season of F3 will conclude with back-to-back rounds after the summer break. Monza will see the return to action in early September, and a new venue Madrid will host the conclusion of the 2026 season.

    We have seen great racing in Formula 3 this season, and there will be a huge amount of excitement for the 2026 season. There’s been some great new talent coming up through the pipeline, assisted by so many F2 drivers moving to Formula 1 this year, and they are fighting it out on the track. The opportunity to race alongside the highest levels of motorsport challenges not only the drivers’ technical aptitude, but also their mental and physical resilience, which is so critical for our sport. The work of Bruno Michel and all the teams is impressive and I want to congratulate them all on their continued success. Of course, the races wouldn’t happen without the support of the FIA, stewards, volunteers, the promoters and our partners, Pirelli and Aramco. Next season is going to be a huge one for the sport, and F3 will be playing an important part in that, both on and off the track.
    Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1.

    The FIA Formula 3 Championship continues to play a fundamental role in shaping the future of our sport, providing young drivers with a world-class environment to grow and compete on some of motorsport’s most iconic circuits. The 2026 calendar offers a strong blend of tradition and innovation – from the streets of Monte-Carlo to the exciting addition of Madrid as the season finale. With ten rounds supporting both Formula 2 and Formula 1, the Championship remains a key pillar of our single-seater pathway and a showcase of global talent.
    FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

    The FIA Formula 3 Championship is the perfect training ground for the drivers on their road to Formula 1, with almost half of the 2025 FIA Formula 2 grid made of F3 graduates from the previous season. The 2026 Formula 3 calendar will be made of ten rounds and twenty races, which is a good number to balance Formula 1 tracks and costs. In 2025, we have introduced a new F3 car that’s provided great racing on circuits that will be back on the 2026 calendar. We will go to Madrid for the first time, and I am looking forward to seeing our thirty cars race at this new venue.
    FIA Formula 3 CEO, Bruno Michel.

    Once again, we can look forward to some fantastic F2 racing in 2026, when the series returns to 14 Grands Prix. We welcomed four F2 drivers up to Formula 1 this year, which has demonstrated how critical the pyramid system is to the sport and its ongoing success. 2026 is going to be a great season, with exciting action, as the drivers take on the ultimate circuits, all of which have different challenges to test their skills and their abilities. I’m grateful to Bruno Michel and all the teams who make the series possible and the FIA, promoters, stewards and volunteers, and our partners Aramco and Pirelli who enable the races to take place. We’re all ready for a brilliant season ahead!
    Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1.

    The FIA Formula 2 Championship continues to prove itself as a vital platform for developing the next generation of top drivers, and the 2026 calendar reflects our commitment to delivering a competitive and globally diverse series. With 14 rounds across three continents, including the exciting debut of Madrid as a new venue, Formula 2 remains closely aligned with Formula 1 while carving its own identity. As we mark the tenth season of the Championship, I look forward to another year of outstanding competition and progression in one of the most important steps on the single-seater ladder.
    FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

    I’m very pleased to announce our calendar for the 2026 season. F2 is the ultimate preparation for Formula 1 as proven by the strong performance of the drivers who have joined the F1 grid in 2025. Racing on Formula 1 tracks and in front of the F1 paddock is absolutely key. Next season, we remain with 14 rounds in total, all support events of F1. As announced previously, we are adding a new venue with Madrid, which should be an exciting new track for our drivers and teams. As always, we have designed this calendar with the costs in mind to ensure that the teams’ budget remain at a healthy level.
    FIA Formula 2 CEO, Bruno Michel.

  • F1 reveals calendar for 2026

    Formula 1 and the FIA have announced the calendar for the 2026 FIA Formula One World Championship, with drivers and teams set to embark on another 24-round campaign as new technical regulations and 100% advanced sustainable fuels come into play.

    Starting with the Australian Grand Prix on the weekend of March 6th – 8th and concluding with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from December 4th – 6th, the F1 community will visit five of the world’s seven continents over the course of the year.

    In 2026, Ramadan will take place throughout February and March, meaning the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix will again be held in April.

    The calendar sees further improvements to the geographical flow of races, including the Canadian Grand Prix now following Miami in an earlier slot from May 22nd to 24th, delivering significant freight efficiencies as some equipment can move directly from one event to the other.

    This change creates a consolidated European leg of the season across the summer months, beginning in Monaco from June 5th – 7th and finishing in Spain, where Madrid will make its F1 calendar debut from September 11th – 13th.

    The championship then returns to Asia with the Azerbaijan and Singapore Grand Prix ahead of a triple header in the Americas, before Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi close out the season.

    2026 will be a new era for Formula 1 where we will witness a brand-new set of regulations for our sport, the cars and the engines that will be powered by 100% sustainable fuel. 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. 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.
    Stefano Domenicali on the 2026 Calendar.

    Next year’s FIA Formula One World Championship marks a significant new chapter for our sport. A new race, new teams, and the arrival of new manufacturers, all ushering in a fresh era of innovation and competition. 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. 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. My thanks to everyone involved in putting on this incredible season and in delivering a calendar that continues to drive the sport forward on all fronts. And, my thanks to the fans whose passion and unwavering support keep the spirit of our sport alive.
    Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA added.
