Ramadan will take place throughout February and March of 2026, which will result in the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be held in April continuing from the 2025 season.

The race calendar witnesses changes to the geographical format, helping to create a precise flow across continents. For this reason, the Monaco Grand Prix has been moved from the bank holiday weekend to June 05-07 with the Canadian race taking its place after the Miami Grand Prix, making transport of equipment more efficient.

This creates a larger European leg across summer months, which will also include Madrid F1 debut replacing Imola.

In addition to this, Zandvoort has already confirmed that it will host a sprint event for its final F1 weekend before leaving the Formula One calendar at the end of the season. Whilst the other 5 sprint races will be confirmed closer to the season start.
