Formula 2 confirms a 14-round 2027 schedule across four continents, aligned with F1 weekends to maximise exposure and control costs within shared logistics, and cohering with the evolving 2027 F1 driver lineups landscape.

Istanbul and Mexico City join in October, expanding circuit variety and engineering demands, with Montreal retained after its 2026 return to the support bill.

The campaign opens in March at Sakhir, then pivots immediately to Jeddah, preserving the early-season Middle East double that standardises climate and freight planning.

Melbourne follows before a transatlantic switch to Montreal, giving juniors two contrasting grip profiles and time zones inside three weeks.

Europe starts in June at Monte-Carlo, retaining the calendar’s prestige showcase and the highest penalty for imprecision on an F2 weekend.

July’s back-to-back at Silverstone and Spielberg compresses operations and magnifies tyre usage variance across high-speed aero circuits.

After the summer break, September runs Monza, Madrid, and Baku consecutively, demanding rapid setup pivots from low-drag efficiency to street-circuit rotation requirements.

October debuts Istanbul’s sweeping layout and Mexico City’s altitude, challenging cooling, braking, and turbo efficiency while magnifying DRS effects on long straights.

Season closes under lights with Lusail and Abu Dhabi in December, a stable environment for title deciders and high-pressure pit operations.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem cites the championship’s global reach and the value of varied circuits in preparing drivers for higher categories.

F1 chief Stefano Domenicali positions the package to deliver another compelling year in the pathway, reinforcing meritocratic graduation into Formula 1 and visibility for candidates as Haas assesses 2027 options across the market.

Formula 3 confirms a 10-round 2027 calendar, mirroring Bahrain and Jeddah openers to align junior learning with the premier paddock.

F3 then visits Melbourne, Montreal, Monaco, Silverstone, Austria, Monza, Madrid, and Istanbul, the Turkish round pending final FIA certification for early October.

Across both series, street tracks and high-speed layouts build robust baselines for tyre management, safety car restarts, and parc fermé decision-making.

Altitude in Mexico City and low-drag Monza polarise setup windows, refining adaptability ahead of 2028 opportunities, alongside expected F1 tyres for 2027 changes that could shift degradation profiles.
