Dates below are the race-day (Sunday, or Saturday for a handful of rounds) start dates in UTC — the neutral reference the schedule is published in — and the local track start time, the clock time at the circuit itself (most 2026 rounds start at 3:00 PM local; the night races run later). Because a race can fall on a different local day depending on where you watch, each round also links to a page that converts its exact start time to your own timezone. For the whole season already converted to a single market’s clock, use the timezone links further down.

It is the same fixed value wherever you are; to see the race in your own timezone, with a live countdown, open any round’s page or the interactive schedule.
