F1 confirms 24-race 2027 calendar with 10 Sprint events

Formula 1 has confirmed the full 2027 season calendar, with 24 rounds scheduled. The championship is set to begin in Bahrain in March and conclude in Abu Dhabi.

The 2027 schedule also expands the Sprint format, with the number of Sprint events rising from six to 10. Multiple reports said Monaco will hold a Sprint for the first time, while Australia is also set to gain a Sprint race.

Reports on the calendar noted that Bahrain will take over as the opening round, meaning the Australian Grand Prix will no longer start the season. Some coverage also said uncertainty remains around Qatar and Abu Dhabi, with the FIA yet to make a decision.
