Twenty-four grands prix across five continents. Formula 1 has officially published its 2027 calendar, and its sweeping changes open a new chapter for the sport. Portugal's Portimão circuit and Turkey's Istanbul Park both return to the schedule. Yet the decision to stage a sprint race in Monaco has raised the biggest questions. Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1's chief executive, explained that the radical calendar reflects the need to raise the intensity of the championship.
Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, motorsport's world governing body, also welcomed the changes. He said the 2027 world championship calendar strongly reflects the sport's global appeal and continued growth. Ultimately, staging 24 rounds next season confirms Formula 1's commitment to its strategy of global expansion.
