F1 reveals 2027 calendar

NEWS STORY
16/09/2026

Formula 1 and the FIA have announced, following approval by the World Motor Sport Council, the 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar.

Pre-season testing will take place in Bahrain from 24-27 February before the Championship returns for the first race, followed by Saudi Arabia. The calendar then moves to Australia, Japan, and China, followed by the Miami and Canadian Grands Prix. The European leg includes Formula 1's return to Portugal in June, after Monaco, with Turkey rejoining the calendar in October between Azerbaijan and Singapore. The closing phase of the season features races in Austin, Mexico City, Sao Paulo, and Las Vegas, before the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.

According to F1, due to the continued success and strong demand for the format, the number of Sprint events has increased from six to ten for 2027, "delivering even more competitive action across the season for fans, promoters, broadcasters, and partners".

"Since the Sprint was introduced in 2021, the data shows that total viewership of Sprint weekends is 12% higher than non-Sprint weekends," says F1, with "Sprint Qualifying is up to three times more popular with fans than Free Practice, 82% of attendees at Sprint weekends say it adds value to their ticket, and 75% of F1 fans believe Sprint events add greater value to a season's calendar".

Bahrain, Australia, Japan, Monaco, and Abu Dhabi will host Sprint events for the first time, with fans therefore set for two qualifying sessions in Monaco, though, other than for the fact that the Sprint like the race itself will be a procession, the fact is that an additional (Sprint) qualifying will take away much of the magic from race qualifying in the Principality, one of the season's true highlights.

Sprint events will also return to Montréal, Silverstone, Monza, Sao Paulo, and Lusail.

"The 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is a strong reflection of the global appeal and continued growth of our sport," said Mohammed Ben Sulayem. "With twenty-four Grands Prix across five continents, the return of Portugal and Turkey, and the opportunity for an expanded Sprint programme, the calendar combines tradition, innovation, and fan engagement while maintaining the highest sporting standards.

"I would like to thank Formula One Management, the promoters, the national sporting authorities, the FIA officials and volunteers and all our stakeholders for their collaboration and commitment. Together, we continue to strengthen the FIA Formula One World Championship and deliver an exceptional season for competitors and fans around the world."

"The 2027 calendar brings together some of the most iconic circuits and vibrant cities in the world, creating an incredible stage for another unforgettable season of Formula 1," added Stefano Domenicali. "We are thrilled to welcome Portugal and Turkey to the championship and to expand Sprint racing to ten events, giving our fans even more intensity, drama, and the wheel-to-wheel action that make our sport so special.

"Formula 1 continues to go from strength-to-strength, attracting new audiences around the globe. Week after week, the world's greatest drivers will battle on some of the most challenging tracks in motorsport, supported by F1's outstanding teams, world-class manufacturers, and global partners. Together, they create a spectacle unlike anything else in sport. As we continue this remarkable journey of growth, I want to thank our fans around the world as their passion drives everything we do.

"I want to thank The President of the FIA, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, and the FIA, our teams and drivers, promoters partners, sponsors, and host cities for their continued commitment and support and we recognise the extraordinary dedication of the volunteers, marshals, and officials whose hard work makes every Grand Prix possible. We are incredibly excited to see this calendar come to life and to deliver another season packed with unforgettable moments, fierce competition, and world-class entertainment for our fans across the globe."
