2026 F1 US GP schedule, India timings

F1 heads to the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) this weekend, where championship leader Kimi Antonelli will get his first chance to seal the drivers’ title. MotoGP, meanwhile, will race at the iconic Phillip Island track for one last time before the Australian GP moves to the new Adelaide street circuit in 2027.

Here is your complete guide on when and where to tune in from India:

F1 US GP schedule

Antonelli holds a mammoth 102-point lead over his teammate George Russell in the drivers’ championship. There are still six rounds to go, but the 20-year-old could become the youngest F1 world champion as early as this Sunday. However, a number of things will need to fall into place to make this happen. 

Firstly, Antonelli will need to extend his lead by at least 23 points to seal the title at COTA. For this, he’ll have to win the US GP, Russell will need to finish P9 or lower, while Lewis Hamilton will need to finish P5 or lower. Antonelli’s biggest threat this weekend, though, could be a resurgent Max Verstappen, who has won the last two races in a row.

MotoGP Australian GP schedule

Phillip Island has hosted the Australian GP since 1997, and this weekend will mark the final MotoGP chapter for the venue. After 17 rounds, just two points separate Jorge Martin and Marc Marquez at the top of the standings. Marco Bezzecchi also remains in championship contention, albeit 46 points off the lead.

There’s little room for error, and adding to the challenge, weather could play a deciding role this weekend, with rain expected for both the Saturday Sprint and Sunday Grand Prix.
