What time is the F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2026? Start time and TV schedule

And so to Baku. Formula One heads east at the end of September for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The weekend will have a different feel to it as the race will be held on a Saturday, rather than the usual Sunday, to ensure it doesn't clash with Azeri Remembrance Day.

The whole schedule will be shifted forward as a result, which might prove unpopular among the drivers.
