The Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix is set to move from its traditional June slot to May from the 2026 season, the series has confirmed.
The Monaco Grand Prix has secured a contract extension through the 2031 season, with the race moving to the first weekend of June from 2026. The Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal will be moved to the third or fourth weekend of May each year from 2026. This decision aims to rationalize the F1 calendar and reduce trans-Atlantic trips as the series moves into its summer leg. The 2026 calendar is expected to pair Miami and Canada in a single block before the European leg unfolds, ensuring a more sustainable and logistically sensible schedule for teams and personnel. These changes align with F1’s goal to become carbon neutral by 2030 and demonstrate a commitment to a more sustainable future.
