The F1 2026 launch season is now finally underway after Red Bull and Racing Bulls took centre stage with an event in Michigan with new engine partner Ford.

A striking new livery for Red Bull was unveiled as the RB22 carries the first major update to Red Bull’s colours in a decade, whilst Racing Bulls has largely adopted the same livery as in 2025, but with some Ford-inspired tweaks. 

The actual cars will be very different by the time they hit the track for testing, and indeed, the first race, but attention now turns to which team is next to have its moment in the spotlight, and who is it, and when will the next 2026 F1 launch be?

After Red Bull-Racing Bulls, the next team to launch its 2026 machine will be Haas on Monday, January 19th. 

The team, carrying a new title sponsor reflecting its closer ties with Toyota, will unveil the car for Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman at the start of the week, having originally planned to do so on Friday, January 23rd.

However, as the table below of all 2026 F1 launch dates shows, there are already two others launches planned for this day, with Haas getting ahead of the curve and bringing its launch forward. 

During the week of Monday, January 19th, and Friday, January 23rd, there will be five launches, including the new Audi, Mercedes, and Ferrari cars.Â
