IndyCar's 2026 schedule features key improvements such as better race spacing and the return of Milwaukee's doubleheader, while facing challenges like the absence of Mexico City due to the World Cup and potential new races in Washington, D.C. The series aims to enhance the fan experience and revisit iconic venues like Laguna Seca for future championships.
The 2026 Formula 1 calendar features 24 races across five continents, starting in Australia and ending in Abu Dhabi, with new regulations, sustainable fuels, and the debut of Madrid, highlighting a global and innovative season.
The Monaco Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until 2031 following a new deal between F1 and the Automobile Club of Monaco. Despite concerns over the race's entertainment value on Monaco's narrow streets, the agreement extends the event's presence for six more years, with a date shift to early June from 2026 to avoid clashing with the Indianapolis 500. The deal includes a higher sanctioning fee and a new partnership with luxury conglomerate LVMH, with TAG Heuer replacing Rolex as F1's official timekeeper.
