Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix moved to Saturday

The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, originally scheduled for Sunday, has been rescheduled to take place on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The race will be held at the 6.003-kilometer Baku City Circuit, a track noted for its mix of high-speed straights and narrow, challenging sections through the old town of Baku.

The event schedule will begin on Friday, September 25, at 14:45 with the qualifying sessions to determine the starting grid. On Saturday, coverage on the Omega Channel starts at 13:00 with the Pre-Race Show hosted by Frixos Masouras and Dimitris Giokkas, followed by the live broadcast of the Grand Prix at 13:45. Omega Channel has confirmed it retains exclusive rights to broadcast Formula 1 races for the 2026-2028 period.

The adjustment is part of a specific program change for the 2026 season. Fans are advised to tune in to the Omega Channel for the live exclusive coverage of the event, which is expected to showcase high tactical intensity given the nature of the street circuit.
