Here is the thing about junior single-seater racing: when the calendars drop, you immediately look for the wild new destinations. The FIA Formula 2 Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship have officially locked in their schedules for the 2027 campaign, continuing to support Formula 1 across the year. Formula 2 will host 14 rounds, while Formula 3 has a packed 10-round schedule alongside the pinnacle of motorsport.
That schedule brings some brilliant additions for the upcoming season. Formula 2 is heading back to Montreal following its initial appearance on the schedule in 2026, alongside completely new stops in Mexico City and Istanbul, with the Turkish track hosting an F2 race for the very first time in this era. Meanwhile, Formula 3 is taking its young stars to Jeddah and Montreal for the first time ever, before capping off its season with a thrilling finale at the brand new venue in Istanbul.
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,
Both championships kick things off in March across Bahrain and Jeddah, before flying out to Melbourne in April and Montreal in May. June brings the classic tight streets of Monaco, followed immediately by demanding back-to-back weekends at Silverstone and Spielberg. After the summer break, the roar returns at Monza before the paddocks head over to Madrid.
The final stretch of the year gets properly intense. Formula 2 stands alone as the sole support series in Azerbaijan during September, before both championships converge in Istanbul for the final act of the Formula 3 season. Formula 2 then travels to Mexico at the end of October, closing out its massive campaign with the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi.
Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali praised the setup, 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.” He added that the championship remains the ultimate pathway for young drivers to showcase their talent on the grandest stage.
Addressing the logistical challenges of a truly global championship, FIA Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel highlighted how they plan to handle the expansion sustainably. “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 said. “We will be covering freight costs so that the territorial expansion of the calendar does not financially impact our teams.”
