Compare F1 race times across timezones

One tool, every timezone side by side. See what time the next Grand Prix starts where you are and where a friend, family member or co-viewer in another country is — the cross-timezone answer a single-zone schedule never gives you. Pick any timezones, compare up to four at once, and share the exact comparison with a link.

The whole 2026 season across three timezones

Every one of the 23 rounds of the 2026 Formula 1 season, converted into US Eastern, UK & Ireland and Eastern Australia time at once.

Why compare F1 times across timezones?

Formula 1 is a global sport watched together across borders. A UK fan and a US friend syncing a stream, an expat checking the start time back home, or a traveller caught in a different zone for a race weekend all need the same thing the usual single-timezone schedule can’t give: two local times at once. This tool reads the same DST-aware conversion behind our per-timezone season schedules and per-race pages, so the answer is reliable — no guesswork, nothing to configure.

Prefer a single timezone?

If you just want the whole season in one market’s time, open a ready-made per-zone schedule: US Pacific · US Central · US Eastern · Mexico · Brazil (Brasília) · Argentina · UK & Ireland · Central Europe · Gulf (UAE) · India · Singapore · Japan · Eastern Australia.

Common questions about comparing F1 times

How do I compare an F1 race time across two timezones?

Use the converter above: it shows the next Grand Prix's start time in several timezones at once. Add the two (or more) zones you care about from the menu — for example your own city and a friend's abroad — and each one appears as its own row or column with the local day and clock time already worked out. No time-zone maths, and daylight saving is handled automatically for the exact date of each race.

Which timezone does the tool default to?

With JavaScript off, it defaults to a cross-region trio — US Eastern (New York), the UK & Ireland (London) and Eastern Australia (Sydney) — so the page always shows a real comparison. In your browser it also adds your own detected timezone automatically, and you can add or remove any IANA timezone you like, up to four side by side.

Can I share a timezone comparison with a friend?

Yes. Once you've chosen your timezones, tap “Copy shareable link”. The link encodes the zones you picked in the URL, so when your friend opens it they see the exact same side-by-side comparison — handy for lining up a watch party across borders or a Discord call before lights out.

Does it cover the whole F1 season or just the next race?

Both. The tool opens on the next race, but you can switch to “Whole season” to see every one of the 23 2026 Grands Prix converted into each chosen timezone in one table — useful for planning which rounds fall in the early hours or late at night where you are.
