F1 Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai Live Online

From 13 to 15 March 2026

The Chinese Grand Prix at the Shanghai International Circuit has been a staple on the Formula 1 calendar since 2004. Unfortunately, it was canceled in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But now, after a four-year hiatus, the racetrack resembling the Chinese character ‘shang’ is set to make a comeback in 2025 as the fifth race of the season.
 
The Chinese Grand Prix has been known for its dedication to the traditional weekend race format. However, this will change in 2026, as the event will adopt the newest version of the Sprint Weekend arrangement introduced in 2021.
