[Saba Sports News] Numerous reputable media outlets have reported that Chicago, USA, will serve as the host city for F1 in 2026. The hosting contract has been finalized and is poised for an official announcement in the ensuing weeks. While racecourse planning remains underway, venue selections for 2026 and beyond have been solidified. The Chicago race is scheduled as a nighttime event preceding the Canadian leg, with the city investing $4 billion in a new stadium, slated for announcement in the coming weeks. F1 has applied for multiple trademarks for potential event names, including “F1 Chicago Grand Prix” and “Chicago Grand Prix,” indicating preparatory measures ahead of the official announcement. F1’s interest in Chicago dates back significantly, evidenced by collaborative efforts with the Red Bull Racing Team to construct a temporary track in the city. Notably, NASCAR staged racing events on Chicago streets last year, showcasing the city’s capability to host such events. The addition of the Chicago Grand Prix to F1’s global calendar promises excitement, provided races avoid harsh winters or scorching summers in the city.
