Formula 1 releases its 2027 calendar, with the season opening at the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 14. The schedule is set at 24 races and includes additional events in the Middle East.
Both reports note that F1’s decision comes while uncertainty persists around parts of the current year’s Middle East race run. Despite that backdrop, F1 keeps Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Abu Dhabi on the 2027 calendar, pointing to existing long-term hosting arrangements. Bahrain also remains a key venue for the sport’s preseason preparations, including testing held there in February.
The outlets align on the core announcement: the March 14 Bahrain opener and the broader concentration of races across the Middle East. They differ only in the amount of detail provided beyond that shared framework, with one source emphasizing the context of uncertainty around the current year’s events.
