The Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) has unveiled the Sprint calendar for the 2026 Formula One season.
A total of six Sprint events will take place next year, with three of them taking place in new locations.
The 2026 F1 season, which will introduce a new era of regulations, will see Sprint events headed to Montréal, Zandvoort, and Singapore for the first time ever, while Shanghai, Miami, and Silverstone will host the other three Sprints.
The 2026 F1 Sprint calendar is as follows:
| Dates | Venue | Country |
| 13–15 March 2026 | Shanghai | China |
| 1–3 May 2026 | Miami | USA |
| 22–24 May 2026 | Montréal | Canada |
| 3–5 July 2026 | Silverstone | UK |
| 21–23 August 2026 | Zandvoort | Netherlands |
| 9–11 October 2026 | Singapore | Singapore |
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, commented:
“The F1 Sprint has continued to grow in positive impact and popularity since it was introduced in 2021. With four competitive sessions rather than two during a conventional Grand Prix weekend, F1 Sprint events offer more action each day for our fans, broadcast partners, and for the promoters – driving increased attendance and viewership. We’re also proud to have welcomed Gatorade as an Official Partner of F1 Sprint, demonstrating the huge interest in the event from an iconic global brand.
“The 2026 season will usher in a new era of regulations, so having three new Sprint venues will only add to the drama on track. I want to thank the FIA, all the promoters, our partners, marshals, volunteers, and local sporting clubs for continuing to make the Sprint a big success and we all look forward to giving our fans more incredible racing and excitement in the 2026 season.“
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA, added:
“The Sprint format has become an increasingly exciting part of the FIA Formula One World Championship, delivering high-intensity racing and added entertainment for fans around the world. As we look ahead to a landmark 2026 season featuring a new generation of cars and regulations, I’m pleased to see the Sprint evolving alongside our broader ambitions for the sport. The inclusion of new venues alongside returning favourites reflects the continued enthusiasm from promoters, teams and fans alike. We will continue to work closely with FOM, the teams, our officials, and the drivers to ensure the Sprint format enhances the championship.“
