Formula 1 circuits and calendar, 2026 season

Every round of the 2026 championship with circuit length, lap count, race distance, corner count and the current race lap record. Round numbers, dates and venues are the calendar as it stands after this season's changes, not as it was first announced.

Sortable by any column. Click Length to find the longest lap, Corners to find the most technical circuit, or Lap record to see which times have stood the longest. Sprint weekends are marked. Circuit and session data of this kind is available from the Sportmonks Motorsport API as JSON.

Lap records are race lap records, current as of 4 August 2026. Ten of the twenty-two were set in 2024 or 2025, and none was set in 2026: the new-regulation cars are slower than the generation before them, so these times are expected to stand all season. Circuit specifications and the calendar are public record, not API fields.

Which of these numbers come from an API

Not all of them, and it is worth being straight about that. A circuit's length and corner count are fixed facts that belong in a reference table. What you cannot maintain by hand is everything that happens at those circuits across a season, and that is the part the Motorsport API is for.

Where each number comes from

● Fixed reference · on this page

Length, laps, race distance, corners, lap record

Public record. Circuit specifications change only when a circuit is resurfaced or reprofiled, which is roughly once a decade per venue. There is no reason to call an endpoint for these, and we have not pretended otherwise.
● From the API · every session

Who was entered, and what they did

Each round is a fixture with its own id, tied to a season_id and a league_id. Ask for a round and you get the entry list back per session, including lineups.driver, lineups.team and lineups.number, plus session results, classification, gaps and lap times.
● From the API · the calendar itself

The schedule, without you watching for changes

This season is the argument for reading the calendar rather than typing it. Two rounds were cancelled in March and a replacement venue was added in July. A hardcoded schedule was wrong twice; a season query was current both times.

Circuit specifications and the calendar in the table above are public record. The response below is a real round from this season.

Round 10, Spa-Francorchamps, 19 July 2026. Values printed exactly as returned. One fixture id gets you the entry list for that round, which is how you attach results to a circuit without maintaining either list yourself.
