Madrid to host grand prix as Formula One announces 2026 calendar

Spain will host two Formula One grands prix in 2026, with the new race in Madrid joining Barcelona, after organisers on Tuesday announced the calendar for a season that could bring big changes on the grid.

Text size:

The 2026 campaign will open for the second successive season in Australia at Melbourne's Albert Park street circuit on March 6-8.

The race in the Spanish capital Madrid is on September 11-13 and will bring the curtain down on the European segment of the season.

The new Madrid circuit will have both street and non-street sectors.

The 24-weekend campaign will again conclude in Abu Dhabi, on December 4-6.

Montreal in Canada will now follow Miami in May to cut down on travelling for the teams.

The 2026 season promises to look radically different with Cadillac becoming the 11th team on the grid and sweeping new regulations on aerodynamics and power units.

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of motorsport's governing body, the FIA, said: "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."
