Short answer: The latest widely reported plan is that the Canadian Grand Prix in 2026 moves from June to May as part of Formula 1’s calendar rationalization, with the Montreal race potentially paired in May with the Miami Grand Prix. Several outlets cited announcements in November 2024 detailing the date shift to align regions and reduce travel. For precise week-end placement (third or fourth weekend of May) and any later adjustments, check Formula 1’s official Canada page and major F1 outlets.
