Here is the thing about the junior single-seater ladder: it keeps growing its horizons. The FIA Formula 2 Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship have officially announced their complete calendars for the 2027 campaign, promising a massive globetrotting journey as they continue to support Formula 1.
For 2027, Formula 2 is slated for 14 rounds, while Formula 3 will line up at 10 rounds alongside the grand prix circus. Both championships kick off their respective campaigns in March in Bahrain and Jeddah, before making the long haul to Melbourne in April and Montreal in May.
There are some wild additions and returns to unpack for the upcoming schedules. Formula 2 heads back to Montreal following its initial appearance in Canada in 2026, while Mexico City makes its debut appearance on the calendar. Istanbul also enters the fold to stage a race for the very first time in the FIA Formula 2 era. Meanwhile, Formula 3 is set to tackle Jeddah and Montreal for the first time, with its season finale taking place at another new venue in Istanbul.
Following those early flyaway rounds, F2 and F3 return to action in June around Monaco, followed immediately by back-to-back rounds at Silverstone and Spielberg. After the summer break, the racing resumes in Monza before heading straight to Madrid.
The final stretches of the year demand serious endurance. F2 stands alone as the sole supporting championship in Azerbaijan in September, before both categories join Formula 1 in Istanbul for what serves as the season-ending F3 round. F2 then travels to Mexico at the end of October, closing out its campaign with the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, emphasized the vital nature of the pathway, stating: “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.”
Bruno Michel, FIA Formula 2 CEO, highlighted the logistics behind the expansion: “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. We will be covering freight costs so that the territorial expansion of the calendar does not financially impact our teams.”
