It’s the first time that the championship will race in America.
Following the cancelation of races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, Formula 2 will race in Miami and Canada alongside Formula 1 the FIA has confirmed.
It takes the total number of F2 race weekends this year to 14. Three of which will now be at new venues for the championship.
It’s the first time the series will race in North America. Round nine in Madrid will also be a first for the championship.
FIA Formula 2 CEO, Bruno Michel, said: “We always love to race in Sakhir and Jeddah, and we wish them well and look forward to returning to both as soon as circumstances allow. We are now going to Miami and Montreal for the second and third rounds of the 2026 season, respectively.
“I would like to thank Stefano Domenicali and Formula 1 for their support in making this possible, and also the FIA, the promoters of the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix, and of course my team, who have worked hard to put in place two new Rounds in such a short amount of time.
“It was not an easy thing to do, but bringing F2 to North America for the first time is really fantastic. It’s something we have been wanting to do for a long time, and it enables us to ensure we’re back racing as quickly as possible.
“It will be a great new challenge for our teams and our drivers, who have all welcomed the news with enthusiasm. I am certain that the quality of racing will bring a lot of excitement to the fans and to everyone attending both Grands Prix.”
