The FIA Formula 2 Championship has confirmed that Miami and Montreal will host Rounds 2 and 3 of the 2026 season, marking the series’ first-ever races in North America. Both events will take place alongside the Formula 1 calendar, expanding Formula 2’s global footprint.

The addition of the Miami and Montreal rounds follows the cancellation of the previously scheduled April races in Sakhir and Jeddah.

Round 2 will be held in Miami, USA, from May 1 to 3, before the Championship heads to Montreal, Canada, for Round 3 on May 22 to 24. The season will then return to Europe, beginning with the iconic Monte Carlo round in Monaco from June 4 to 7. 

Stefano Domenicali, President & CEO of Formula 1 said: “While it has not been possible to go ahead with the two races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia this month, and we look forward to being back with our passionate fans there as soon as possible, it is great news for our fans, the drivers and the teams that Formula 2 will be racing in Miami and Montreal.

"Bruno and the whole F2 family have done a great job, working closely with us, the FIA, and the Miami and Montreal promoters, to ensure we limit the gap in racing for the championship this season and I want to thank them for making this possible. It is going to be fantastic to restart the racing in a few weeks’ time and to have F2 alongside Formula 1 as we return to the US for the first time this season.”

Bruno Michel, FIA Formula 2 CEO, added: “We always love to race in Sakhir and Jeddah, and we wish them well and look forward to returning to both as soon as circumstances allow. We are now going to Miami and Montreal for the second and third rounds of the 2026 season, respectively.

"I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and Formula 1 for their support in making this possible, and also the FIA, the promoters of the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix, and of course my team, who have worked hard to put in place two new Rounds in such a short amount of time. It was not an easy thing to do, but bringing F2 to North America for the first time is really fantastic. It’s something we have been wanting to do for a long time, and it enables us to ensure we’re back racing as quickly as possible. It will be a great new challenge for our teams and our drivers, who have all welcomed the news with enthusiasm. I am certain that the quality of racing will bring a lot of excitement to the fans and to everyone attending both Grands Prix.”
