Formula 1 announced the Canadian Grand Prix will move from mid-June to May on the 2026 schedule to "rationalize" the circuit's schedule.

The move is expected to see the Montreal event follow the Miami Grand Prix, while the recently-announced extension for the iconic Monaco Grand Prix will shift to the first weekend in June.

The changes will eliminate F1 from criss-crossing the Atlantic Ocean as part of its sustainability and cost-efficiency efforts.

This year, F1 held nine races in Europe, with the Canadian Grand Prix interrupting the stretch with its June 9 date.

"The move will allow the European leg of the F1 season to be consolidated into one consecutive period over Europe's summer months and is planned to remove an additional transatlantic crossing by the F1 community each year -- meaning significant associated carbon reductions," F1 said in a statement.

It is a continuation of F1's ongoing efforts to improve efficiencies in the schedule. The Japanese Grand Prix has been moved to the spring to align with other races in the Asia Pacific Region. The Azerbaijan event was moved to the autumn to better align with Singapore, and Qatar was shifted to before the season-ending Abu Dhabi race.
