With the 2025 season wrapped up – one that saw Doriane Pin crowned champion – F1 Academy is already looking ahead to the fourth edition of the championship, announcing the 2026 schedule filled with symbolic returns and debuts. Here is the complete F1 Academy 2026 calendar.
Following the conclusion of F1 Academy’s third season—culminating in Doriane Pin’s world title—the focus now shifts to the series’ fourth edition, set for 2026. The new calendar has just been announced, once again featuring seven rounds held alongside Formula 1 race weekends and introducing some key new additions.
As in the previous season, the lights will go out in Shanghai from March 13 to 15, 2026, before a double-header in Saudi Arabia and Canada, scheduled for April and May as the second and third rounds of the year. The real novelty comes with the fourth event: in July, F1 Academy will make its debut at Silverstone, a highly symbolic moment that coincides with twelve years since the then-driver – now series director – Susie Wolff took part in free practice with Williams in 2014.
After the British round, the series will fly to Zandvoort before heading to the United States for the final stretch of the season: the return of the Circuit of the Americas to the calendar and the grand finale under the lights of Las Vegas, which will host the last round of the year in November.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, stated: “In just three seasons, F1 ACADEMY has developed fantastic drivers and built a large and passionate fanbase around the world. It inspires women and girls to consider a role in motorsport, both on and off the track, by breaking down barriers and showing what’s possible. I’d like to thank Susie Wolff and her team for their determination and vision in creating such an excellent series, and congratulate the 2025 Champion, Doriane Pin, on her incredible achievement “.
“I am also grateful to our promoters for their enthusiasm and commitment in making F1 ACADEMY a key fixture of Grand Prix weekends. We have also seen extraordinary growth in grassroots participation, which is essential for the future of this sport. Next season is shaping up to be another brilliant year, and I can’t wait to see how the 2026 grid performs, ,” the Italian executive continued.
Susie Wolff, Managing Director di F1 ACADEMY, ha invece affermato: “Il nostro calendario F1 ACADEMY 2026 riflette lo slancio che stiamo costruendo e la visibilità che stiamo guadagnando in tutto lo sport. Silverstone e Austin sono due aggiunte fantastiche alla nostra line-up 2026, e tornare in cinque eventi già consolidati ci dà il calendario più forte di sempre, con la chiusura ancora una volta a Las Vegas, dove puntiamo a concludere la stagione con lo stesso stile e la stessa energia che abbiamo offerto quest’anno“.
