Here's the thing: the FIA Formula 2 Championship has laid out its 2027 season, and it is a massive 14-round beast covering Asia, Oceania, Europe, and the American continent. They are not messing around, adding two brand-new venues to the mix while bringing back Montreal after its successful addition to the 2026 season.
Let's talk about those new arrivals. Istanbul and Mexico City are crashing the party in October, a clever move that finally shrinks that annoying, extended gap before the final two rounds. It all kicks off in March down in Sakhir, Bahrain, right alongside Formula 1, before the machines immediately blast over to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, just one week later. From the Middle East, the circus packs up for Melbourne, Australia, and then heads across to Montreal, Canada.
Once the calendar hits June, the European leg fires up at Monaco—home to a track that takes absolute precision—followed by a frantic July double-header at Silverstone, Great Britain, and Spielberg, Austria, right before the summer break. September wastes no time either, offering a brutal three-round stretch starting at Monza, Italy, moving to Madrid, Spain, and finishing up at the Baku City Circuit in Azerbaijan.
Then comes October, featuring the first race weekend at the demanding circuit in Istanbul, Türkiye, alongside the highly anticipated arrival in Mexico City, Mexico. The announcement of that Mexican round dropped during a press conference featuring none other than FIA Formula 2 CEO Bruno Michel, Alejandra Frausto from the Ministry of Tourism of Mexico City, Formula 1 Gran Premio de la ciudad de Mexico Managing Director Federico Gonzalez Compean, and FIA Formula 2 drivers Rafael Villagomez and Noel Leon.
Finally, the year wraps up in December with a Middle Eastern doubleheader: first under the lights at Lusail, Qatar, before the season finale at Yas Island, UAE.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem pointed out that the new schedule reflects the continued global growth of a vital series, while Formula 1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali emphasized the championship's role as the ultimate stepping stone to the top. Meanwhile, F2 CEO Bruno Michel noted that the addition of the three venues was handled in a financially sustainable way, with freight costs covered so the expansion doesn't hurt the teams.
