Calendar changes Brazil returned to the calendar after a 21-year absence. The last race held in the country took place in 2004 at the Jacarepaguá Circuit in Rio de Janeiro, where it was known as the Rio de Janeiro Grand Prix. The Argentine Grand Prix did not return to the calendar this year, as the organisers have confirmed in a statement, aiming to return in 2027. The Argentine Grand Prix came back onto the calendar in 2014 at the new Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo venue, having previously been held on and off in Buenos Aires between 1961 and 1999. However on 21 July 2025, Dorna announced that the Argentine Grand Prix would have a new home starting in the 2027 season. Work is currently underway to return to the Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez. Due to the ongoing Iran war, the Qatar Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 12 April, was postponed to 8 November. The Portuguese and Valencian Grands Prix were also rescheduled to a week later.
