The European leg of the 2026 Formula 1 season begins as the paddock heads to Monaco for Round 6 of the championship.

Few events on the calendar carry the same history and prestige as the Monaco Grand Prix, with the tight confines of Monte Carlo braced for action once again.

Precision is everything around the Circuit de Monaco, where the barriers are never far away and qualifying can often prove just as important as Sunday’s race itself.

Monaco also signals the start of the European summer stretch, with the championship now settling into a run of iconic venues over the coming months.

Fans in Europe and Africa can enjoy a full weekend of daytime running, while viewers in the Americas can catch the action over breakfast and lunch. For Asia-Pacific audiences, it’ll be a later schedule, with evening sessions running across the weekend.

No matter where you’re following from, we’ve got all the key session timings and details on when to tune into our exclusive live coverage.
