The 2026 F1 race calendar has officially been unveiled as the sport heads towards a new era.
F1 is set to travel to 24 different venues once again during the campaign following its expansion to the historic figure in 2024.
The Albert Park Circuit, which hosts the Australian Grand Prix, will once again open the season on March 8.
The season will conclude on December 6th at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which has hosted the final round of every F1 campaign since 2014.
F1 will undergo a new set of technical regulations next year that threaten to cause a major shift in the pecking order.
These changes include significant modifications to the power unit as well as the chassis, while the grid is also expanding to 22 cars as Cadillac joins the field.
Some major differences to the F1 calendar include the exit of Imola, which has been replaced by a trip to Madrid at the end of the European leg of the season.
Elsewhere, Canada has shifted forward compared to 2025 and follows the race in Miami, leaving Monaco to commence the European rounds on June 7.
These changes have been carried out in a further effort to regionalise the calendar and help the travel strains on the paddock.
There will be two triple headers during the year running through rounds 19 to 21 and 22 to 24.
Zandvoort has already confirmed it will host a sprint event for its final F1 weekend before it drops off the calendar at the end of the campaign
The locations of the five other sprint races will be confirmed at a later date.
