Round four of the Formula 1 2026 season will take place at the Miami International Autodrome following a five-week break in the calendar. The cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix has made Miami a key restart point for the championship battle.
The 2026 Miami Grand Prix will be run over 57 laps, with the race scheduled to start at 16:00 local time on Sunday, May 3. As one of the newer additions to the calendar, Miami continues to present unique technical challenges due to its hybrid circuit layout and evolving track conditions.
The weekend will again feature the sprint format, increasing the strategic complexity for teams in terms of car setup, tyre usage, and parc fermé restrictions. Limited practice time places additional emphasis on simulation accuracy and rapid data correlation during the opening session.
Below is the full schedule for the 2026 F1 Miami Grand Prix in local time:
| Session | Date | Time (Local) |
|---|---|---|
| Free Practice 1 | Friday, May 1, 2026 | 16:00 – 17:30 |
| Sprint Qualifying | Friday, May 1, 2026 | 20:30 – 21:14 |
| Sprint Race | Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 16:00 – 17:00 |
| Qualifying | Saturday, May 2, 2026 | 20:00 – 21:00 |
| Race | Sunday, May 3, 2026 | 16:00 – 17:59 |
The Miami circuit combines long straights with slow-speed technical sections, requiring a balanced aerodynamic setup between drag efficiency and cornering stability. High ambient and track temperatures are also expected to play a significant role in tyre degradation, making race strategy and stint management critical.
With the sprint format and an extended break before this round, Miami is set to act as a performance benchmark across the grid. Teams will aim to validate upgrades and optimise package efficiency as the championship momentum resumes ahead of the European leg of the season.
