Monaco Grand Prix 2026 Schedule - Day-by-Day

Overview

This event has concluded. The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix took place on 5–7 June 2026 and was won by Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes). For the next edition (4–6 June 2027), see the Monaco Grand Prix race weekend guide. The day-by-day timetable below is kept as a record of the 2026 weekend.

The 2026 Monaco Grand Prix ran over three days: free practice on Friday, a third practice and qualifying on Saturday, and the race on Sunday. Since 2022 Monaco has followed the standard Formula 1 weekend format, so the historic Thursday practice day no longer exists. All times below are CEST (local time in Monaco).

Practical notes for the weekend

Getting there and moving around. Large parts of the Principality are closed to traffic on race days and the circuit cuts the town in two. Our access and transport guide covers train, bus and pedestrian routes, and the parking guide explains which car parks stay open.

Where to watch. Grandstand tickets, general-admission terraces and hospitality packages are sold separately, and the choice of spot matters more at Monaco than at any other circuit. See where to watch the Grand Prix and the ticket guide.

Staying and eating. Hotels fill up months ahead and most apply race-weekend minimum stays; see the Grand Prix hotel guide and dining during the Grand Prix.
