Now, here is something genuinely exciting for the junior single-seater ladder: the FIA Formula 2 Championship and FIA Formula 3 Championship have officially locked in their calendars for the 2027 campaign. Both categories will continue running alongside Formula 1 next year, with F2 booked for 14 rounds while Formula 3 takes on 10 rounds.
The schedules bring some wild new destinations and notable returns for the drivers. F2 heads back to Montreal following its initial appearance in Canada in 2026, while Mexico City enters the calendar for the very first time. Istanbul also joins the mix, hosting a race for the first time in the FIA Formula 2 era. Meanwhile, Formula 3 expands its horizons by visiting Jeddah and Montreal for the first time, with its season finale set to unfold at the brand-new venue in Istanbul.
Both championships get underway in March with stops in Bahrain and Jeddah, before heading down to Melbourne in April and Montreal in May. June brings the classic test of Monaco, followed immediately by back-to-back weekends at Silverstone and Spielberg. After the summer break, the action fires back up in Monza before moving on to Madrid.
The closing stages of the year spread the grids across different continents. F2 takes on Azerbaijan alone as the sole supporting championship in September, before both categories reunite in Istanbul for the final F3 round of the season. F2 then rounds 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 importance of the pathway, noting that the 14 rounds will test young drivers on iconic and challenging tracks while showcasing their talents to the entire motorsport world. He also thanked the FIA leadership, Bruno Michel, and all the promoters, officials, marshals, and volunteers who make it happen.
Bruno Michel, the CEO of FIA Formula 2, highlighted the financial side of this global expansion. He explained that adding three new venues—the return of Montreal after its surprise 2026 addition, alongside the debuts of Istanbul and Mexico City—was achieved in a financially sustainable way. According to Michel, the championship will cover freight costs so the territorial expansion does not hit the teams in the wallet, setting up a demanding four-continent calendar for the next generation of racing stars.
