Cody Rhodes in

Round 5 of the 2026 season comes from the Circuit Gilles Villenueve as the Canadian Grand Prix takes place.

It is the first Canadian GP to take place since a calendar re-jig brought it forward from the middle of June to an end-of-May slot.

The 70-lap race is due for a 16:00 local time start on Sunday, May 24th.

That is a 21:00 BST start time in the UK, or 22:00 CET for the rest of Europe.

Check out the start time for the 2026 F1 Canadian Grand Prix below, with the times automatically adjusted to your timezone!
