F1 Academy has unveiled the calendar for the 2026 season, which, once again, features seven rounds in support of the FIA Formula One World Championship, including the series’ first-ever appearance at Silverstone.
The fourth season of the all-female series will again comprise 14 races across the seven rounds, maintaining the popular reverse grid format for one race at each event. The calendar will also be supported by a comprehensive 12-day testing program as part of the series’ commitment to offering extensive seat time.
The 2026 season will see F1 Academy return to Shanghai, Jeddah, and Montreal, before heading to Silverstone for Round 4 to be part of the British Grand Prix for the first time, 12 years after Managing Director Susie Wolff’s first Free Practice appearance there in 2014.
The series will then be welcomed back to the sand dunes of Zandvoort, before concluding with two rounds in the United States. Circuit of the Americas rejoins the calendar for the first time since F1 Academy’s maiden appearance in its inaugural season, before the series concludes once again at the spectacular Las Vegas Strip Circuit.

Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: “In just three seasons, F1 ACADEMY has developed some fantastic drivers and grown a huge and passionate fanbase all over the world. It inspires women and girls to consider a role in motorsport, be that on or off the track, by removing barriers and showing what can be done. I would like to thank Susie Wolff and her team for their drive and vision in creating such an outstanding series, and congratulate 2025 Champion, Doriane Pin, for her incredible achievement.
"I’m also grateful to our race promoters for their enthusiasm and commitment to making F1 Academy a key fixture at their Grand Prix weekends. We’ve also seen fantastic growth in grassroots participation, which is vital for the future of the sport. Next season is set to be another brilliant year, and I can’t wait to see how the 2026 grid performs.”
Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 Academy, said: “Our 2026 F1 Academy calendar reflects the momentum we’re building and the visibility we’re earning across the sport. 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.”
