2027 Season
The FIA published the official 2027 calendar in September 2026, so every promoter now has a confirmed date to sell against. There is still no single on-sale date — each circuit opens its own sales on its own schedule. Here is the order they typically come in, and what to book first.
The short answer
All 24 dates are confirmed, so the question is no longer whether a date will move but when each circuit opens its window. European rounds have historically gone first and flyaways last, most of them six to nine months before race day. No circuit has announced its 2027 on-sale date yet, so the useful move today is joining the alert list for the race you want.
Dates are from the official FIA calendar. The timing column is the historical pattern for that kind of circuit — it is guidance, not an announced on-sale date, because no circuit has published one for 2027 yet.

Usually first to open
Monaco sells through the Automobile Club de Monaco and the premium grandstands go in days. Silverstone runs a returning-customer window before general sale. Both have historically opened well ahead of the rest of the calendar, and both are sprint weekends in 2027, which adds demand.
Other European rounds
Typically six to nine months out
Monza, Spa, Budapest and the Red Bull Ring sit in the normal window. These rarely sell out at general admission, so there is no rush beyond wanting a specific grandstand.
Flyaways and street circuits
Usually last to open
Singapore, Austin, Mexico City, Las Vegas and the Middle East rounds tend to open later in the cycle. Las Vegas and Singapore have priced aggressively at launch and discounted closer to the race more often than the European rounds do.
Portimão and Istanbul Park
No recent pattern to go on
Neither has hosted a normally ticketed F1 crowd since 2021, so there is no recent on-sale behaviour to extrapolate from and no guide on this site yet. Istanbul Park also still needs FIA circuit homologation, which is the one 2027 round worth treating with caution.
10 of the 24 rounds run the sprint format in 2027, up from five in 2026. It changes what a single-day ticket is worth: a sprint weekend puts competitive running on all three days, so Friday and Saturday tickets are materially better value than at a standard weekend, where Friday is practice only.
It cuts the other way too. Sprint weekends draw bigger three-day crowds, so the grandstands that sell out do it sooner. Monaco runs the sprint format for the first time in 2027, and it is already the hardest ticket on the calendar.
What a confirmed calendar does not cover
A published calendar is not a guarantee: races have been cancelled inside their own season before, as Bahrain and Saudi Arabia were in 2026. Your protection is the promoter’s refund policy, not the FIA’s calendar, so read the terms on cancellation and date changes before you pay. Session start times are also still unpublished — if you are booking a flight home on Sunday evening, leave more slack than you think you need.
There is no single on-sale date — each circuit sells its own tickets on its own schedule. Now that the FIA has published the 2027 calendar, every promoter has a confirmed date to sell against, so sales open in waves rather than all at once. Historically European rounds open first and flyaway rounds last, most of them six to nine months before race day. No circuit has announced its 2027 on-sale date yet; join the circuit's own alert list rather than watching for a central announcement.
Yes. The FIA published the official 2027 calendar in September 2026: 24 rounds, opening with Bahrain on 12-14 March and closing with Abu Dhabi on 10-12 December. One caveat — the Türkiye round at Istanbul Park on 1-3 October is subject to FIA circuit homologation. Session start times have not been published yet, so only the weekend dates are firm.
Ten of the 24: Bahrain, Australia, Japan, Canada, Monaco, Great Britain, Italy, Brazil, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. It matters for tickets because a sprint weekend puts competitive running on all three days, so a Friday or Saturday-only ticket is worth materially more than at a standard weekend — and those weekends tend to sell faster.
The dates are confirmed, so the main risk that used to apply — a race moving in a draft calendar — is gone. Book the ticket first, a refundable room second, and the flight last: airlines release most long-haul seats around eleven months out, so there is nothing to gain by rushing that leg. The one round to treat with caution is Türkiye, which still needs circuit homologation.
No. Zandvoort's 2026 race was its last under the current contract, so there is no Dutch Grand Prix to buy tickets for in 2027. Barcelona-Catalunya also drops out for a year, leaving Madrid as the only Spanish round. Portimão returns on 18-20 June and Istanbul Park on 1-3 October, both for the first time since 2021.
Go to that circuit's own ticketing site and join its waitlist or alert list rather than watching F1.com. Circuits notify their own lists first, and for the races that sell out — Monaco, Silverstone, Monza — the alert list is the difference between getting a grandstand seat and getting resale prices.
