McLaren will become the penultimate team to reveal its 2026 machine to the world with the livery unveiling on Monday, February 9.
After Cadillac used a commercial during the Super Bowl to show off its new colour scheme several hours earlier, McLaren will take to Bahrain for its livery announcement event, before Aston Martin does the same later in the day.
The reveal will take place two days before the second winter test of 2026 gets underway at the Bahrain International Circuit from February 11-13, before a second batch of testing dates at the same location between February 18-20.
