Formula 1 has released its 2027 race calendar, revealing a 24-event season that will feature an expanded sprint format and the return of several prominent venues.
The 10-month schedule has been designed with sustainability as a priority, grouping races geographically to improve logistical efficiency. The season will commence in March with a double header in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, before concluding in Abu Dhabi in December.
A notable change for the 2027 season is the increase in sprint race weekends. Following the popularity of the format, the number of races featuring a sprint will rise from six to 10. Bahrain, Australia, Japan, Monaco and Abu Dhabi will host the format for the first time, while Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil and Qatar will host returning sprint events.
Following the initial Middle Eastern races, the championship will move into a triple header consisting of Australia, Japan and China. The North American leg will start with the Miami Grand Prix, followed by the Canadian Grand Prix.
The European portion of the season will start in June with the Monaco Grand Prix. Portugal will return to the calendar at the Autodromo Internacional do Algarve in Portimão, marking its first appearance since 2021. The schedule also sees Silverstone and Austria swapping positions, followed by races in Belgium and Hungary.
After a summer break, the series will return in September with the Italian Grand Prix in Monza and a second Formula 1 event in Madrid, Spain. Türkiye will also return to the schedule as part of a triple header involving Azerbaijan and Singapore.
The year will close with a series of North American races in Austin, Mexico City, Sao Paulo and Las Vegas, followed by a final double header in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Regarding technical preparations, the 2027 season will feature a single four-day pre-season testing session at the Bahrain International Circuit at the end of February.
