2026 F1 Academy Calendar Unveiled

After another successful season of F1 Academy that saw Doriane Pin win the title, F1 Academy unveiled its seven-race 2026 calendar, which is set to feature four new circuits. 

On Wednesday, F1 Academy released its seven-race 2026 schedule, which is set to begin in earnest in mid-March and run all the way to the end of November; all of the scheduled race weekends are set to run in conjunction with seven Formula One race weekends.

The 2026 F1 Academy season is set to kick off in Shanghai alongside Formula One’s Chinese Grand Prix weekend from March 13th to March 15th. 

One month later, the all-female racing series will race in Jeddah alongside the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. The series’ race weekend in Saudi Arabia is slated to run from April 17th to the 19th. 

From May 22nd to May 24th, F1 Academy will race in Montreal for the second consecutive season alongside Formula One’s Canadian Grand Prix weekend. 

The first of two new circuits on the F1 Academy calendar this season is the Silverstone circuit, which will host the all-female racing series from July 3rd to July 5th alongside the British Grand Prix weekend. 

The fifth F1 Academy weekend of the season is set to take place at the Zandvoort Circuit, which is set to host F1 Academy as part of its final weekend on the Formula One calendar. From August 21st to 23rd, the series will host the next stage of its season alongside the Dutch Grand Prix. 

The second new circuit on the F1 Academy calendar takes the form of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas; the circuit is returning to the F1 Academy grid for the first time since 2023. Alongside Formula One’s United States Grand Prix weekend, F1 Academy will run its penultimate race weekend from October 23rd to the 25th. 

Like last season, F1 Academy will conduct the final race of its seven-race calendar in Las Vegas alongside Formula One’s Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend. The events of the finale will take place from November 19th to the 21st. 

The calendar will also include twelve days of testing, however it is unclear as to when these days will take place.
