Here is the blueprint for where the next generation of single-seater stars will battle: the FIA Formula 2 Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship have officially locked in their calendars for the 2027 campaign. Both feeder categories will maintain their traditional place supporting Formula 1 across the year, with F2 set for a 14-round schedule while F3 will feature at 10 rounds.
The scheduling brings some wild new additions and important returns. F2 is heading back to Montreal following its first appearance there in 2026, alongside completely new stops in Mexico City and Istanbul, the latter marking a debut for the FIA Formula 2 era. Meanwhile, Formula 3 is expanding its horizons by visiting Jeddah and Montreal for the very first time, before wrapping up its season at the brand-new Istanbul venue.
I’m very excited to add three new venues in a financially sustainable way, with the return of Montreal following its surprise addition in 2026 and the first appearance of Istanbul and Mexico City,
Action kicks off in March with rounds in Bahrain and Jeddah, before the paddock jets off to Melbourne in April and Montreal in May. June brings the iconic streets of Monaco into the mix, followed immediately by back-to-back weekends at Silverstone and Spielberg. Once the summer break concludes, the racing fires back up at Monza before heading over to Madrid.
The closing stretches of the season split paths slightly between the two classes. F2 takes on Azerbaijan as the sole supporting championship in September, before both series reconvene in Istanbul for the season-ending F3 round. F2 then finishes out its year with a trip to Mexico at the end of October, followed by the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasized the vital role of the junior series. “The 2027 FIA Formula 2 calendar will deliver another exciting season of racing across 14 rounds at some of the most iconic and challenging venues in world motorsport, including the addition of Istanbul and Mexico City,” he said, pointing to the championship as the ultimate pathway to the pinnacle of the sport.
FIA Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel highlighted the logistical side of expanding across four continents while keeping things manageable for the competitors. “I’m very excited to add three new venues in a financially sustainable way, with the return of Montreal following its surprise addition in 2026 and the first appearance of Istanbul and Mexico City,” Michel stated. He added that freight costs will be covered so that the geographic expansion does not hurt the teams financially.
