Formula 1’s 2027 season will stretch from Bahrain in March to Abu Dhabi in December, with 24 Grands Prix and an expanded programme of 10 Sprint weekends.
The newly announced schedule keeps the championship at 24 rounds for a fourth successive year. Portugal’s Portimao circuit and Turkey’s Istanbul Park both return, each hosting F1 for the first time since 2021.
Bahrain regains the opening round for the first time since 2024. Its March 12-14 event will also feature a Sprint, following four days of pre-season testing at the venue on February 24-27.
The increase from six Sprint weekends to 10 brings the format to Monaco for the first time. F1 has highlighted the prospect of two qualifying sessions on the Monte Carlo street circuit as a particular attraction for fans.
Australia, Japan, Canada, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil, Qatar and Abu Dhabi complete the Sprint line-up alongside Bahrain and Monaco.
There are changes elsewhere in Europe, too. Zandvoort drops off the calendar, while the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya enters a rotation with Spa-Francorchamps. Barcelona will host in even-numbered years from 2028, with the Belgian Grand Prix taking the odd-numbered years from 2027.

Saudi Arabia follows Bahrain on March 19-21, before Australia returns to the third slot on April 2-4. That begins a run of three consecutive race weekends through Japan and China, with Sprints at the first two stops.
Miami retains its place around the first weekend of May. Canada then stages a Sprint event on May 21-23, followed by Monaco on June 4-6 and the Portuguese Grand Prix on June 18-20.
Silverstone’s Sprint weekend is scheduled for July 2-4, with Austria moving behind the British round to July 9-11. Belgium and Hungary then run on consecutive weekends before the championship pauses for its summer break.
The gap between the Hungarian and Italian rounds will be five weeks, extending the usual summer break by a week. Racing resumes with a Sprint at Monza on September 3-5, ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid on September 10-12.
Two further runs of three consecutive race weekends shape the autumn schedule. Azerbaijan, Turkey and Singapore are grouped together from September 24 to October 10. Austin, Mexico and Brazil follow from October 22 to November 7, with Brazil also holding a Sprint.
Las Vegas is scheduled for November 19-21 and will stage the only Grand Prix of 2027 held on a Saturday locally. For viewers in the UK, the race will take place on Sunday morning.
The final two rounds both use the Sprint format. Qatar hosts on December 3-5, before Abu Dhabi closes the championship on December 10-12.
Publication of the calendar had been delayed by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The situation has also created uncertainty around the end of the 2026 season, although Qatar and Abu Dhabi remain scheduled to host their races later this year.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali welcomed Portugal and Turkey’s return and said the expanded Sprint schedule would offer fans more intense racing and on-track drama. He described the combination of renowned circuits and major cities as the setting for another memorable season.
Domenicali also pointed to F1’s growing international audience, crediting its drivers, teams, manufacturers and global partners for the spectacle. He thanked supporters around the world, stressing that their enthusiasm remains central to the sport’s progress.
FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem said a 24-race championship across five continents reflected F1’s worldwide appeal and continued growth. In his view, the returning venues and larger Sprint programme bring together tradition, innovation and fan engagement while upholding the highest sporting standards.
