The F1 2027 calendar is taking a little longer than usual to arrive. At this point in the year, fans would normally have a fairly solid idea of the following season’s dates. This time, Formula 1 is holding back the full announcement until autumn while it works through a few moving parts.
That does not mean we know nothing. Far from it. Two popular circuits are returning, Zandvoort has said goodbye, and the shape of the 24-race season is already becoming easier to read. What we do not have yet is the official race order—or certainty over how the situation in the Middle East could affect the opening and closing rounds.
So, here is the honest version of the F1 2027 calendar as it stands: what is confirmed, what is expected and what still needs to be settled.
Has the F1 2027 calendar been announced?
No. The complete F1 2027 calendar, including dates and race order, has not yet been officially published.
Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali has indicated that the announcement is now expected in autumn 2026. The delay is linked mainly to contingency planning around the Middle East, after conflict affected the 2026 season and forced the cancellation of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian Grands Prix.
F1 still intends to run a 24-race championship. The real question is where certain rounds fit—and whether backup plans will be needed.
What is already confirmed for the F1 2027 calendar?
The headline news is the return of Portugal and Türkiye. Both last appeared on the calendar in 2021, and both are the sort of circuits fans tend to mention whenever the sport starts talking about new race deals.
Portugal returns at Portimão
The Portuguese Grand Prix will return to the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve in 2027. Better known simply as Portimão, the circuit has agreed a two-year deal covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Portimão’s steep climbs, sudden drops and unsighted corners make it an exciting circuit to watch. It hosted Grands Prix in 2020 and 2021, with Lewis Hamilton winning both.
No date has been confirmed yet, but Portugal is expected to form part of the European section of the F1 2027 calendar.
The Turkish Grand Prix is back
Istanbul Park will also return in 2027 under a five-year agreement running through 2031.
The circuit is best known for Turn 8, a long, fast, multi-apex left-hander. The rest of the lap brings elevation changes, overtaking opportunities and a history of unpredictable weather.
The Turkish Grand Prix has not been given a 2027 date, but its long-term deal means its place on the calendar itself is secure.
Spa will be on the 2027 schedule
Spa-Francorchamps is moving to a rotational arrangement, but 2027 is one of its confirmed race years. The Belgian Grand Prix is scheduled to appear in 2027, 2029 and 2031 under the current agreement.
Rotation does not mean Spa is disappearing; it simply will not feature every season. Eau Rouge, Raidillon and the Ardennes weather are all due back in 2027.
Madrid continues as the Spanish Grand Prix
Madrid joined the calendar in 2026 on a deal running until 2035, so the new Madring circuit is expected to stage the Spanish Grand Prix again in 2027.
The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is a different story. Its new agreement places it in rotation with Spa, with Barcelona currently set to host races in 2028, 2030 and 2032. That means Barcelona is not expected on the F1 2027 calendar.
Which race is leaving the calendar?
The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort held its final scheduled edition in August 2026. Its departure was not a last-minute cancellation: organisers had already decided not to extend the deal beyond 2026 because continuing without public funding carried too much financial risk.
Zandvoort brought banked corners, a seaside setting and an orange crowd that made Friday practice feel like race day. But on a 24-round calendar, adding races also means making room.
In simple terms, Portugal takes the space left by Zandvoort, while Türkiye fills the slot opened by Barcelona moving out of the 2027 schedule.
The likely F1 2027 race list
Dates and order are still provisional, but this is the clearest current picture of the venues expected to make up the 24-race season:
| Region | Grands Prix expected in 2027 |
| Asia-Pacific | Australia, China, Japan, Singapore |
| Middle East | Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Abu Dhabi |
| Europe | Monaco, Austria, Great Britain, Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Madrid, Portugal, Türkiye |
| Americas | Miami, Canada, United States, Mexico City, São Paulo, Las Vegas |
This is not the official running order. It is a working list based on confirmed additions, announced rotations and existing race agreements. Until Formula 1 and the FIA publish the final F1 2027 calendar, any website showing exact dates for every round should be treated cautiously.
Why is the F1 2027 calendar delayed?
The Middle East is the biggest unresolved issue.
Bahrain has traditionally opened—or appeared near the beginning of—the modern F1 season, while Saudi Arabia has usually followed early in the year. Qatar and Abu Dhabi sit at the other end of the schedule, with Abu Dhabi established as the finale. Following the disruption to the 2026 championship, F1 is preparing alternative options in case the regional situation continues into 2027.
That could affect the season opener, the final rounds or both. Australia may become a more obvious opening-race option if Bahrain and Saudi Arabia cannot take their normal early-season positions, but that remains a possibility rather than a confirmed plan.
Moving a Grand Prix affects freight, team travel, broadcasting and the spacing of consecutive race weekends. With 24 events, one change can quickly push several others around.
Will there be any surprise additions?
Probably not for 2027.
South Africa, Rwanda, Thailand and Argentina have all been linked to future races. However, the 2027 grid already appears full once Portugal and Türkiye are included.
Any genuinely new destination is more likely to enter from 2028 onwards, potentially through another rotation. That allows F1 to keep 24 rounds while giving more venues access to a limited number of slots. For fans, it saves some classic races from disappearing completely, although planning further ahead becomes trickier.
Should you book an F1 2027 trip yet?
You can start planning, but be careful with anything non-refundable.
Official ticket waitlists are already open for several 2027 Grands Prix, including Portugal and Türkiye. Registering interest is sensible; booking fixed flights or accommodation before the date is confirmed is a bigger gamble.
If you want to get ahead, shortlist two or three races, decide on a rough budget and check hotel cancellation terms. FlightsPro can also help you start planning your F1 2027 trip with a low deposit, so you can spread the cost rather than paying for the entire holiday upfront.
Once the F1 2027 calendar is published, you will be ready to move quickly without locking yourself into the wrong weekend now.
When will the full F1 2027 calendar be confirmed?
The official announcement is expected in autumn 2026, although no exact publication date has been given.
When it arrives, watch for the season opener, the position of Portugal and Türkiye, the Middle East rounds and the number of back-to-back weekends. The venues may look settled, but the order makes a huge difference to travelling fans and teams.
For now, the F1 2027 calendar promises a good blend of established favourites and returning tracks. Portimão is back. Istanbul Park is back. Spa remains. Zandvoort and Barcelona are out for this season. The remaining question is how Formula 1 fits everything together.
We will update this page as soon as more races and dates are confirmed.
