F1 have unveiled the 2027 season calendar which will include ten sprint races.
The 2027 season will commence in Bahrain as the Middle-East race at Sakhir International Circuit returns to its opening slot on the calendar for the first time since 2024, and will be followed by the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix after that race was dropped from the 2026 calendar due to the Middle-East conflict.
Australia, Japan and China will form a triple-header on 4, 11 and 18 April respectively, followed by Miami and Canadian Grands Prix on 2 and 23 May respectively.
The European phase of the season commences on weekend of 4-6 June in Monaco before Portugal returns to the calendar for the first time since 2021, with the race confirmed for 20 June.
F1 have switched the British and Austrian Grands Prix around for 2027 meaning that the trip to Silverstone will take place on weekend of 2-4 July, followed by the jaunt to Spielberg on weekend of 9-11 July before Belgium and Hungary conclude the first half of the season on 25 July and 1 August respectively.
The Belgian round at Spa Francorchamps is entering an annual rotation with Barcelona-Catalunya GP meaning that the latter race has dropped off the calendar, but will return in 2028 then 2030 and 2032 whilst Spa takes a slot on the calendar for next season plus 2029 and 2031 seasons.
Following a month-long summer break, the season will recommence at Monza, Italy on weekend of 3-5 September followed by the trip to Madrid a week later across 10-12 September.
F1 then enters another triple-header with a trip to Azerbaijan from 24-26 September followed by visits to Turkey and Singapore on weekends of 1-3 and 8-10 October, with the trip to Turkey marking F1’s return after a six-year absence – as the race last featured in 2021 as a Coronavirus Pandemic replacement.
A further triple-header follows in late October as F1 jet off to Texas for the US GP on weekend of 22-24 October followed by Mexico on weekend of 29-30 October, with Brazil concluding the triple header on weekend of 5-7 November.
Las Vegas will form a standalone race on weekend of 18-20 November before F1 concludes the season back in the Middle East, with Qatar and Abu Dhabi Grands Prix on 5 and 12 December.
F1 will also include 10 sprint race weekends on the calendar which commences with the season-opener in Bahrain, followed by sprints in Australia, Japan, Canada, Monaco, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Bahrain, Australia, Japan, Monaco and Abu Dhabi are hosting sprint weekends for the first time, whilst Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil and Qatar have previously played host to the format.
FIA President, Mohammed Ben Sulayem described the calendar as “… a strong reflection of the global appeal and continued growth of our sport.
“With twenty-four Grands Prix across five continents, the return of Portugal and Türkiye, and the opportunity for an expanded Sprint programme, the calendar combines tradition, innovation, and fan engagement while maintaining the highest sporting standards.”
