The 2027 F1 calendar has 24 Grands Prix and a record 10 Sprint weekends, with Monaco getting its first Sprint, and Portugal and Türkiye making a comeback.

The approved schedule runs from Bahrain on 14 March to Abu Dhabi on 12 December, with Bahrain testing on 24–27 February. For fans planning ahead, the most significant changes are the expanded Sprint programme and two returning circuits: Portimão and Istanbul Park.

One booking caveat to keep in mind: The Race reports a contingency to bring forward Australia, China and Japan if the lingering Middle East conflict prevents the Gulf opener. That remains a backup plan so far as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia retain their announced dates.

Three F1 weekends to circle

Monaco, 4–6 June: Its first Sprint brings a second qualifying contest to a circuit where grid position is crucial. The Race identified the extra competitive sessions as the attraction, despite limited overtaking.

Portugal, 18–20 June, and Türkiye, 1–3 October: Both return after last hosting F1 in 2021. F1’s guide highlights Portimão’s elevation changes and Istanbul Park’s demanding Turn 8.
