F1 Timezone does one job: it tells you when Formula 1 is actually on where you live. Every practice, qualifying, sprint, and race of the 2026 season is listed below, converted to Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific time — pick your zone above and the whole schedule updates, daylight saving included. No mental math against track-local start times, no getting caught out by the calendar's oddities (two Grands Prix run on a Saturday this year).
The 2026 season is a big one to follow: an all-new set of technical regulations, a brand-new race in Madrid, and six sprint weekends with points on all three days. Each race below links to a dedicated page with the full weekend schedule in all four US time zones, a circuit guide, and a live countdown — or browse the complete race calendar. If you're wondering where the races are shown in the US this year, our 2026 US viewing guide covers the new streaming landscape, and the rest of the guides explain how race weekends, sprints, and start times work.
The 2026 Formula 1 season opens with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne on March 8, 2026 and closes with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina on December 6, 2026 — 22 races in total.
What time do F1 races start in US time zones?
It varies by host country. European races typically start around 9 AM Eastern on Sunday mornings, races in the Americas start in the US afternoon, and Asia-Pacific races run overnight. Las Vegas is the exception: a Saturday night race at 11 PM Eastern / 8 PM Pacific. The schedule on this page shows every session converted to your chosen US time zone — and our guide to why F1 start times vary explains the patterns.
Which 2026 races are sprint weekends?
Six rounds run the sprint format in 2026: China, Miami, Canada, Britain, the Netherlands, and Singapore. Sprint weekends add a shorter points-paying race on Saturday plus its own qualifying session on Friday.
What US time zones does F1 Timezone support?
All four continental US time zones: Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Times automatically account for daylight saving on each race date.
