The Canadian Grand Prix will move from June to the second half of May starting in 2026, as part of Formula 1’s efforts to regionalize the calendar further. Currently, the series races in Miami in early May, followed by European rounds in Imola and Monaco. In 2025, the Spanish Grand Prix will take place after Monaco, leading to a standalone event in Montreal before the European races. Shifting the Canadian race earlier will consolidate the European leg into one period, reducing carbon emissions from transatlantic travel, according to F1. The date change aims to kick-off the summer tourism season for Montreal earlier and aligns with F1’s sustainability goals for a more sustainable and inclusive environment. The move will create an exciting month of May in North American racing, with the Miami and Canadian GPs preceding the Indianapolis 500.
