Add the 2026 F1 Schedule to Your Calendar
Add every 2026 session to Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook in one tap. Each event appears in your own time zone and links to that race's track guide, so the circuit details and F1 ticket prices are a tap away on race weekend.
Pick Every Session for practice, qualifying, Sprints and races, or Races and Sprints for just the start times. Both are free, with nothing to sign up for or install, and each event is set as free time so it won't block your calendar.
If F1 moves a session, the change reaches your calendar by itself the next time it syncs. Apple Calendar and Outlook usually pick it up within a few hours, while Google Calendar can take up to a day. Download .ics adds a one-off copy that won't update, which suits Samsung Calendar and older apps.

When Is the Next F1 Race?
Next up is the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas, round 18 of 23 on October 23-25. Lights out is at 8pm UK time on Sunday, October 25, which is 4pm in New York and 1pm in Los Angeles.
After that, five more Grands Prix follow before the finale at Yas Marina Circuit on December 6. All six Sprints have been run, so every remaining weekend uses the standard format with three practice sessions. With six races to go, our F1 standings show how much the title fight can still change.
How an F1 Race Weekend Works
Most F1 weekends run over three days. A standard weekend has three one-hour practice sessions, with qualifying on Saturday setting the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix. That's how 17 of this year's 23 rounds run, including every race left this season.
Sprint weekends swap two of those practice sessions for a shorter race. After one practice hour on Friday, Sprint Qualifying sets the grid for Saturday's 100km Sprint, and normal qualifying follows later that day. The top eight in the Sprint score points, from eight for the win down to one.
Qualifying has three knockout rounds. The six slowest cars drop out in Q1 and six more go in Q2, leaving the fastest 10 to fight for pole in Q3. Grand Prix points work the same way on both formats, and our F1 standings page explains the full points system.

F1 Schedule 2026: FAQs
The next F1 race is the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas on Sunday, October 25. It's round 18 of 23 in 2026, and the weekend begins with first practice on Friday. Lights out is at 8pm UK time, or 4pm Eastern.
The United States Grand Prix starts at 8pm UK time on Sunday, October 25, which is 4pm Eastern and 1pm Pacific. Most Grands Prix start at 3pm local time, so races in Europe suit UK viewers and races in the Americas fall in the UK evening. Our table shows every session in your own time zone.
The 2026 F1 season has 23 Grands Prix. The original calendar had 24, but the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix in April were canceled because of the war in the Middle East. Bahrain's race was later moved to the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia, where it ran as the Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia on October 4.
Six Grands Prix are left in the 2026 F1 season after the Singapore Grand Prix, starting with the United States Grand Prix on October 25 and ending with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6. There are no Sprints left, so a driver can still score up to 150 points.
Six rounds have a Sprint in 2026, in China, Miami, Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Singapore. Montreal, Zandvoort and Singapore hosted their first Sprint weekends, and Silverstone returned to the format for the first time since 2021. Singapore's Sprint on October 10 was the last one of the year.
The 2026 F1 season started with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8, after two pre-season tests in Bahrain in February. George Russell won the opening race for Mercedes ahead of his teammate Kimi Antonelli, and the season runs until the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 6.
Most 2026 Grands Prix have taken around an hour and a half. A race runs for the fewest laps needed to pass 305km, or 260km at Monaco, and it can't go beyond two hours of racing. A red flag stoppage stretches the overall limit to three hours. Sprints cover about 100km and last around 30 minutes.
