McLaren's car livery launch will take place on February 9, the defending constructors' champions confirmed.
The last team to announce the launch date of its 2026 challenger was McLaren. The event will take place on February 9 at 15:00 GMT (16:00 CET) at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The event will be broadcasted live, as fans will be able to hear from the team's two drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, team boss Andrea Stella, and CEO Zak Brown.
McLaren won the constructors' title during the past two Formula 1 campaigns, and Norris also secured his first drivers' title at the 2025 Abu Dhabi GP, finishing just two points ahead of Max Verstappen.
