Where is the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix taking place?

The Monaco Grand Prix will be held at the Circuit de Monaco, which featured in the very first year of the F1 World Championship back in 1950 and has been a steadfast track on the calendar since 1955.

With its incredibly narrow streets steeped in history, it’s regarded as one of the all-time great venues and has seen plenty of memorable battles, including between Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna in 1992.

The Brazilian driver holds the record for the most wins at the principality with six victories to his name – one more than Graham Hill, who was dubbed the original ‘Mr Monaco’ after winning an impressive five of the seven races there between 1963 and 1969.

What is the weather forecast in Monaco?

Conditions currently look pleasant in Monaco throughout the weekend, with clear skies and some moderate wind predicted across Friday and Saturday.

The breeze is expected to drop slightly in time for Sunday’s Grand Prix, while a maximum temperature of 22 degrees Celsius should produce fantastic weather for racing.

When can I watch F2 and F3 during the 2026 Monaco Grand Prix weekend?

After an action-packed third round in Canada, F2 will continue in Monaco with Free Practice taking place at 1500 local time on Thursday, June 4.

Traffic is a notorious challenge during Qualifying at the track, so the field will be divided into two groups for the session. Qualifying Group A will head out at 1510 on Friday, June 5, followed by Group B at 1534.

All 22 drivers will reconvene for the Sprint Race at 1415 on Saturday, June 6 before taking on the Feature Race at 0925 on Sunday, June 7.

F3 will also race for the first time since the Australian Grand Prix, starting with Free Practice at 1325 on Thursday, June 4. Identical to F2, the drivers will be separated for Qualifying – Group A will have just 14 minutes to set their best lap times at 1005 on Friday, June 5 before Group B do the same at 1129.

The Sprint Race will begin at 1045 on Saturday, June 6 and the Feature Race rounds out the weekend at 0745 on Sunday, June 7.
