2026 Formula One schedule
Spanning five continents, the 2026 Formula One season will deliver high-octane thrills from Australia to the UAE. Preseason testing kicked things off in Bahrain on February 11–13, and the season officially launched in Melbourne on March 8.
Unfortunately, the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix scheduled for April were canceled because of the conflict in the Middle East, creating a five-week hiatus between Japan and Miami. Formula 1 later rescheduled the Bahrain Grand Prix for October 4 at Malaysia’s Sepang International Circuit, bringing the season to 23 races. The championship remains on track to conclude on December 6 in Abu Dhabi.
Below is the complete 2026 Formula One TV schedule with U.S. viewing options. Given the global nature of Formula One, I suggest you keep an eye on those varied start times.
