Monaco will host a Sprint as F1 expands from six to ten in 2027

Formula 1 and the FIA have confirmed the 2027 calendar: 24 Grands Prix in 22 countries and ten Sprint weekends, up from six. Monaco will host a Sprint for the first time, despite overtaking remaining especially difficult on its tight street circuit.

The change mainly reshapes the weekend format: one practice session will precede Sprint Qualifying, with a second qualifying session setting the Grand Prix grid. Bahrain, Australia, Japan and Abu Dhabi will also host their first Sprints. Portugal and Türkiye return, Bahrain opens the season and Abu Dhabi closes it.
