2026 F1 Academy calendar revealed

F1 Academy’s calendar for the 2026 season has been revealed today, with the series heading to one new venue, and returning to a fan-favourite.

The seven-round, 14-race 2026 season will start in Shanghai, which will host the F1 Academy opener for the second season in a row, time before the series heads back to Jeddah and Montreal for Rounds 2 and 3.

July will welcome an iconic new location, with Silverstone set to host Round 4 before a visit to the Dutch dunes in Zandvoort after the summer break.

The season will conclude with two stateside trips, starting with Austin, which returns to the series for the first time since its maiden season, and the finale once again in Las Vegas.

Jade Jacquet, our new Driver Academy arrival ahead of the F1 Academy 2026 season, cannot wait to hit the track at some of the most famous motorsport venues on the planet.

“I’m really looking forward to racing on some of the most legendary circuits and amazing tracks, and do so at the same time as Formula 1,” she shared, adding: “Silverstone, Austin, Zandvoort – what an amazing opportunity.”

Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 Academy, is thrilled with the growth of the series as it prepares for its fourth full season.

“Our 2026 F1 ACADEMY calendar reflects the momentum we’re building and the visibility we’re earning across the sport,” Wolff commented.

“Silverstone and Austin are two fantastic additions to our 2026 roster, and returning to five established races gives us our strongest calendar yet, closing once again in Las Vegas where we aim to finish the season with the same style and flair we delivered this year.”
