Formula 1 has unveiled its 2027 calendar, with the Canadian Grand Prix set to take place in Montreal from May 21 to 23.
Officials say the season will feature 24 Grands Prix across 22 countries, while the number of sprint events will increase from six to 10.
“The 2027 calendar brings together some of the most iconic circuits and vibrant cities in the world, creating an incredible stage for another unforgettable season of Formula 1,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1. “We are thrilled to welcome Portugal and Türkiye to the championship and to expand Sprint racing to ten events, giving our fans even more intensity, drama, and the wheel-to-wheel action that make our sport so special.”
Sprint events will also return to Montreal, Silverstone, Monza, São Paulo and Lusail, creating even more action-packed race weekends for fans around the world.

“The 2027 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is a strong reflection of the global appeal and continued growth of our sport,” said Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President of the FIA. “With 24 Grands Prix across five continents, the return of Portugal and Türkiye, and the opportunity for an expanded Sprint programme, the calendar combines tradition, innovation, and fan engagement while maintaining the highest sporting standards.”
In 2026, Formula 1 moved the Montreal race from mid-June to May 24 in an effort to reduce travel and its environmental impact by scheduling the event closer to the Miami Grand Prix.
The new schedule allows teams to race consecutively in North America, avoiding the back-and-forth travel between North America and Europe that was required under the previous schedule.
