The rest of the 24-race calendar is expected to mirror the recent schedule’s shape, running through the European summer and the flyaway rounds in the fall, but F1 has not locked those dates publicly. This table lists only the anchors that have been reported so far.
The Question Mark Over the 2027 Opener
F1’s plan to open in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia depends on stability in the region. As a contingency, the sport has looked at moving pre-season testing to Barcelona and finding an alternative March opener, with Malaysia floated as a possible stand-in. The final call on the Middle East rounds is expected around mid-January 2027, which is why the front of the calendar carries more uncertainty than usual this cycle.
Why 2027 Matters
2027 is the second season of Formula 1’s new technical era, so the calendar sits alongside a grid still settling into the latest regulations. That makes the schedule, and the order the season unfolds in, worth tracking early. As soon as F1 confirms the official 2027 calendar, this page updates with the full 24-race list.
