First Draft of 2027 Formula 1 Calendar Leaked

More than a week before the FIA World Council meeting, where the initial draft of the 2027 Formula 1 season calendar is expected to be approved, the race schedule has reportedly leaked online.

Next year's calendar is also set to feature 24 races. The inclusion of Middle Eastern events suggests an anticipated lasting resolution to the military conflicts that disrupted this year's Formula 1 schedule.

For 2027, Ramadan's timing allows for two consecutive race weekends in March. The Formula 1 season is slated to kick off in Bahrain on March 14th, followed by the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on March 21st.

April will see races in Australia (April 4th), China (April 11th), and Japan (April 25th). Two more rounds are scheduled for May: Miami (May 9th) and Canada (May 23rd).

June is once again packed: the Monaco Grand Prix is on June 6th, Portugal takes the June 20th slot, and Austria will host a race on June 27th. July will feature the final races before the summer break: Great Britain (July 4th), Belgium (July 18th), and Hungary (July 25th).

The 2027 season will resume on August 29th in Madrid, finally providing a more substantial summer break.

September's races include Italy (September 5th), Turkey (September 19th), and Azerbaijan (September 26th). Six more races are planned for October and November: Singapore (October 10th), Austin (October 24th), Mexico (October 31st), Sao Paulo (November 7th), Las Vegas (November 20th), and Qatar (November 28th).

The season is expected to conclude on December 5th in Abu Dhabi.

Barcelona and the Netherlands are reportedly out of next year's calendar, with Portugal and Turkey making an appearance. It's already predictable that two of these races will be extremely hot – Portugal in June and Madrid in August.

It's unlikely anyone from the FIA will confirm this version of the calendar before next week's World Council meeting, but it will be interesting to see how closely it aligns with the official release.
