F1H2O has announced an update to the 2026 UIM F1H2O World Championship calendar following the ongoing force majeure situation affecting Jeddah.

Despite every effort to maintain the event, the current geopolitical circumstances mean that the Jeddah Grand Prix will unfortunately not take place in 2026.

The Championship will now continue with the Grand Prix of Shanghai, China, before heading to Sharjah, UAE, for the final round of the 2026 season.

The return to Shanghai marks another important chapter for F1H2O in China, while Sharjah will once again provide a spectacular setting for the season finale and the crowning of the 2026 UIM F1H2O World Champion.

F1H2O would like to thank the teams, drivers, partners, organisers, broadcasters and fans for their continued support and understanding.
