F1 Secures Monaco Grand Prix Through 2035 With New Four-Year Deal

The agreement shifts the race to early June from 2026, removing its traditional clash with the Indianapolis 500.

Overview

  • Formula One Management signed a fresh four-year extension with the Automobile Club of Monaco, the event’s second renewal in 12 months.
  • From 2026 the grand prix will run on the first weekend of June, effectively swapping calendar slots with Montreal’s Canadian Grand Prix.
  • The change ends Monaco’s overlap with the Indy 500, with Indianapolis now set to coincide with the Canadian round.
  • Prince Albert II and ACM president Michel Boeri welcomed the renewal, thanking F1 leadership for its continued trust.
  • Despite ongoing criticism of processional racing, FIA plans to keep a mandatory two-stop format for 2026, and Autosport reports Monaco accepted higher sanctioning fees in earlier negotiations.
