Monaco Grand Prix moved to June

Formula 1 and the FIA shifted the Monaco Grand Prix to June for the 2026 season, moving one of the sport’s best-known races out of its usual late-May position on the world championship calendar. The official 2026 schedule lists the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on May 22-24 and Monaco on June 5-7. That means Monaco will no longer occupy the same late-May weekend that has long overlapped with the Indianapolis 500. Yahoo Sports said the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix is also being run as a sprint weekend. ### When is Monaco now scheduled in 2026? The 2026 Formula 1 calendar published by Formula 1 lists the Monaco Grand Prix for June 5-7. The Automobile Club de Monaco separately says the event in the principality will run from June 4-7, reflecting the broader local event schedule around the race weekend. June 7, 2026, is the Sunday race date under Formula 1’s official calendar. (formula1.com) The Automobile Club de Monaco describes the event as the 83rd edition of the Monaco Grand Prix and says it will be the first European round of the 2026 season. ### Which race took Monaco’s old late-May spot? Canada now occupies that place on the 2026 calendar. Formula 1 lists the Canadian Grand Prix for May 22-24 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, two weeks before Monaco. (formula1.com) Yahoo Sports said this year’s Canadian Grand Prix weekend includes a sprint race, adding an extra competitive session to the May 22-24 program. (formula1.com) A New York Post race guide published on May 24 also described Canada as the fifth round of the championship and said it was the third sprint weekend of the season. ### Does this remove the Monaco-Indy 500 overlap? (formula1.com) The 2026 dates do separate Monaco from the Indianapolis 500 weekend. With Canada scheduled for May 24 and Monaco scheduled for June 7, Formula 1’s Monaco round no longer falls on the same late-May Sunday that traditionally coincides with Indy 500 day in the United States. That is an inference from the official Formula 1 calendar dates. (sports.yahoo.com) Monaco Tribune, in a June 2025 calendar report, said the Canadian Grand Prix would take place at the same time as the Indy 500, while Monaco would move to June 7. That outlet described the revised timing as part of a broader reshuffle in the 2026 motorsport calendar. ### Who confirmed the calendar change? (formula1.com) The FIA and Formula 1 announced the 2026 world championship calendar on June 9, 2025. Their statement said the 2026 season would include new regulations and cars running on 100% advanced sustainable fuels, alongside a revised race schedule. Formula 1’s live 2026 calendar page now shows Canada on May 22-24 and Monaco on June 5-7. (monaco-tribune.com) The Automobile Club de Monaco’s event page carries the same June placement for the Monaco weekend. ### What happens next on the 2026 schedule? The next Monaco Grand Prix weekend is set for June 5-7, 2026, in Monte Carlo, according to Formula 1 and the Automobile Club de Monaco. (fia.com) Before that, the 2026 calendar shows the Canadian Grand Prix in Montreal on May 22-24, followed by Barcelona-Catalunya on June 12-14. (formula1.com)
