Record 10 Sprints raise the stakes
The headline sporting change is the jump from six Sprint weekends in 2026 to a record 10 in 2027. Bahrain, Australia, Japan, Canada, Monaco, Great Britain, Italy, SĂŁo Paulo, Qatar and Abu Dhabi will stage the shorter Saturday races.
That means three of the opening four weekends will feature Sprints, putting additional championship points on offer almost immediately. At the other end of the campaign, Qatar and Abu Dhabi will deliver back-to-back Sprint weekends during the title run-in.
Monaco is one of the most eye-catching additions. Track position is crucial around its narrow streets, making another competitive session an intriguing change at one of Formula 1’s most famous races.
Portugal returns to PortimĂŁo
PortimĂŁo returns on June 18-20 after last hosting Formula 1 in 2021. The Portuguese Grand Prix is part of a two-year agreement covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
The undulating Algarve circuit previously produced victories for Lewis Hamilton in 2020 and 2021. His first PortimĂŁo victory was his 92nd in Formula 1, moving him beyond Michael Schumacher’s previous record of 91 Grand Prix wins.
The official Formula 1 announcement confirms the return, bringing the fast, elevation-heavy circuit back onto the championship schedule.

TĂźrkiye begins a five-year F1 comeback
Istanbul Park returns on October 1-3, positioned between Azerbaijan and Singapore. TĂźrkiye’s comeback is part of a five-year agreement running from 2027 through 2031.
The circuit last hosted Formula 1 in 2021 and remains famous for its demanding multi-apex Turn 8. Its October date also creates a tough Azerbaijan-TĂźrkiye-Singapore triple-header for drivers and teams.
Zandvoort drops out as Madrid stays
The Dutch Grand Prix is absent following Zandvoort’s planned farewell in 2026. Madrid, meanwhile, hosts the Spanish Grand Prix on September 10-12 as Formula 1 continues reshaping the European section of its calendar.
Recent Spanish F1 weekends have shown how quickly the competitive picture can change before qualifying, including Ollie Bearman’s heavy Spanish Grand Prix FP3 crash.
Spa-Francorchamps remains on the 2027 schedule, with the Belgian Grand Prix set for July 23-25 before Hungary. Belgium is now part of F1’s longer-term rotational approach, with Spa also scheduled to stage races in selected future seasons.
Three triple-headers will push teams hard
The schedule contains three particularly demanding runs. Australia, Japan and China take place on consecutive weekends in April. Azerbaijan, TĂźrkiye and Singapore form another triple-header from late September into October.
The United States, Mexico City and SĂŁo Paulo then follow on three consecutive weekends before the championship moves towards its final stretch.
Las Vegas runs from November 18-20 before Formula 1 heads to Qatar and Abu Dhabi for the last two rounds of the year.
Abu Dhabi gets a Sprint season finale
Making Abu Dhabi a Sprint weekend could have a direct sporting impact if either championship remains close. Drivers will have an opportunity to score points before Sunday’s final Grand Prix, while Qatar immediately beforehand will also feature a Sprint.
The expanded schedule comes as Formula 1 continues taking major events to new and returning markets. Australia remains an important early-season stop, with Melbourne also attracting huge interest around other international competitions, including the major international sporting events drawing crowds in Melbourne.
Formula 1 has kept the championship at 24 Grands Prix rather than adding more race weekends. But with 10 Sprints, Portugal and TĂźrkiye returning, Zandvoort leaving and additional points available at the season finale, the 2027 campaign will pack considerably more competitive action into the same number of Grands Prix.
