Formula 1 has revealed its full 2027 race calendar, confirming a significant increase in the number of Sprint‑format weekends from six to ten. The season will kick off in Bahrain, and for the fourth year running the championship will feature 24 Grands Prix, with the return of the Portuguese round at Portimão and the Turkish round at Istanbul Park.
The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort will be absent from the schedule, while the Barcelona‑Catalunya circuit will enter a rotating arrangement with Belgium’s Spa‑Francorchamps. Under the new deal, the Spanish race will be held in even‑numbered years starting in 2028, and the Belgian Grand Prix will occupy odd‑numbered years beginning in 2027. * indicates a Sprint weekend The announcement was delayed because of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which left the fate of the current year’s Qatar and Abu Dhabi events uncertain.
Nevertheless, the organisers have confirmed that Bahrain will host a four‑day pre‑season test from 24 to 27 February, followed by the season‑opening weekend on 12‑14 March, which will also be a Sprint weekend. The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will follow a week later. Australia moves back to the third round of the year in early April and will host a Sprint race, as will the following event in Japan.
The Chinese Grand Prix will complete a three‑race swing in the region. Miami retains its place on the calendar for the first weekend of May. After that, Sprint weekends are scheduled for Canada and, for the first time, Monaco, with the series promising fans "two thrilling qualifying sessions" on the streets of Monte Carlo.
The Portuguese Grand Prix returns in mid‑June, and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone will be a Sprint weekend on 2‑4 July, with the Austrian round shifting to follow directly after Silverstone. Back‑to‑back weekends in Belgium and Hungary will usher the championship into its summer hiatus. When the sport resumes, Monza will host a Sprint round in early September, marking the first event after a five‑week break—one week longer than the usual summer pause. The Spanish Grand Prix will take place in Madrid a week later.
A triple‑header of races in Azerbaijan, Turkey and Singapore follows, before the traditional Americas swing in Austin, Mexico City and São Paulo, the latter also designated as a Sprint weekend. Las Vegas will host the only Saturday race of the 2027 season; although it will be run on Saturday locally, it will be shown on Sunday morning in the United Kingdom.
The calendar closes with two final Sprint weekends in Qatar and Abu Dhabi on 10‑12 December. "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," said F1 President Stefano Domenicali.
"We are thrilled to welcome Portugal and Turkey to the championship and to expand Sprint racing to 10 events, giving our fans even more intensity, drama, and the wheel‑to‑wheel action that make our sport so special." Domenicali added that the sport continues to grow, attracting new audiences worldwide. He praised the drivers, teams, manufacturers and partners for delivering a spectacle unlike any other sport and thanked fans for their passion, which drives the series forward. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem echoed the sentiment, noting that the 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar reflects the global appeal and continued expansion of the sport. He highlighted the 24 Grands Prix across five continents, the return of Portugal and Turkey, and the expanded Sprint programme as a blend of tradition, innovation and fan engagement while upholding the highest sporting standards.
