Italian Grand Prix 2026: Monza at the Heart of the Season

From September 4 to 6, 2026, the Autodromo Nazionale di Monza will host the 97th edition of the Italian Formula 1 Grand Prix, the 15th round of the 2026 World Championship. The legendary "Temple of Speed" is preparing to welcome thousands of fans for one of the most anticipated events on the calendar. The weekend kicks off on Friday September 4 with the first free practice sessions, continues on Saturday 5 with qualifying, and culminates on Sunday September 6 with the race. The Brianza circuit is the fastest on the entire Formula 1 calendar: drivers are at full throttle for 80% of the lap, reaching speeds of over 350 km/h. Among the most eagerly awaited protagonists, Charles Leclerc and the young Andrea Kimi Antonelli, now in his second Formula 1 season following a debut that generated enormous attention. Alongside Formula 1, the action will also feature Formula 2, Formula 3 - which will hold its season finale at Monza - and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup one-make series. The 2026 season also marks a year of major changes for the World Championship: the introduction of 100% sustainable fuel, the return of the Ford brand as technical partner, and the debut of Audi.
