Now, here is something genuinely interesting for the junior single-seater faithful: the FIA Formula 2 Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship have officially locked in their calendars for the 2027 campaign. Both of these incredible training grounds will continue supporting Formula 1 throughout the year, with F2 slated for 14 rounds while Formula 3 will contest 10 rounds alongside the grand circus.
The scheduling brings some wild new additions and proper globetrotting for the teams and drivers. For F2, the machine heads back to Montreal after making its first appearance in Canada in 2026, while Mexico City joins the slate for the very first time. Istanbul also makes its grand return to the calendar, hosting a race for the opening time in the FIA Formula 2 era. Meanwhile, the Formula 3 beasts will tackle Jeddah and Montreal for the first time, with their season finale staged at the brand new venue in Istanbul.
Both championships kick off their engines in March in Bahrain and Jeddah before jetting off to Melbourne in April and Montreal in May. Action resumes in June with the iconic test of precision around Monaco, followed immediately by demanding back-to-back rounds at Silverstone and Spielberg. After the summer break, the roar returns in Monza before both series head over to Madrid.
The closing stages of the year split the two categories. F2 acts as the sole supporting championship in Azerbaijan in September, before both series reconvene in Istanbul for the final F3 round of the year. F2 then finishes its marathon at the end of October in Mexico, before jetting off to Qatar and Abu Dhabi to close out the campaign.
Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, shared his thoughts on the upcoming schedule: “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.” Domenicali added, “Formula 2 continues to play a vital role as the ultimate pathway to Formula 1, giving the most promising young drivers the opportunity to compete on the same stage as the pinnacle of our sport and showcase their talent to fans, teams and partners around the world.”
Bruno Michel, FIA Formula 2 CEO, emphasized the logistical effort 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.” Michel noted that the four-continent journey will deliver a demanding test for the next generation.
