We reported that Formula 1 owners Liberty Media had registered several trademarks relating to the Chicago Grand Prix, sparking speculation about a fourth event coming to the US in the coming years. Local politicians have expressed doubts about the prospects of a race at the city circuit, but if recent rumors are to be believed, Chicago will host a Formula 1 race as early as 2026.
Sources from the Fastest Pit Stop say the contract for the race has already been signed and an official announcement will be made in the coming weeks. It is reported that the Chicago stage has already reserved a place on the 2026 season calendar ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix.
The final configuration of the circuit has not yet been determined, but it has already been decided that the race in Chicago will be held under artificial lighting.
Officials have not yet commented on rumors that the Chicago Grand Prix will take place in 2026.
