Next year’s Formula 1 calendar will feature six sprint events, including three at new venues.
The total number of sprints remains unchanged, with the first event of 2026 scheduled in Shanghai, followed by Miami. Silverstone, which last hosted a sprint in 2021, makes a return. Montreal, Zandvoort, and Singapore are set to hold their first-ever sprint weekends, F1 announced on Tuesday.
Unlike this season, which included three sprints in the final six grands prix, there will be no sprint events in the last six rounds of the 2026 championship. The full 2026 F1 calendar, featuring 24 races, was released in June.
Sprint races cover 100 kilometers, roughly one-third of a grand prix distance. According to F1, TV viewership during sprint weekends in 2024 averaged 10% higher than on non-sprint weekends.
