F1 Academy, the all-female Formula 4 championship that supports Formula 1, has announced its 2027 race calendar.
Next season, which will be the fifth in its history, is set to feature seven rounds and start in Jeddah on March 19-21.
Jeddah was supposed to host round two this year, but the political situation in the Middle East led to Formula 1 cancelling the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix and therefore F1 Academy’s races. It opted not to seek a replacement event.
Shanghai moves from being the location of the 2026 season opener to being the second round of 2027, with teams visiting China on April 16-18.
The first of three trips to North America is in Montreal on May 21-23, with the only two European events being at Silverstone (July 2-4) and the Hungaroring (July 30-August 1).
F1 Academy has visited Zandvoort every season to date, the only track with that status, but since the Dutch Grand Prix will drop off the F1 calendar in 2027 it brings an end to its presence on F1 Academy’s schedule and the visit to the Hungaroring is its summer replacement.
Circuit of the Americas hosts round six next year on October 22-24, and the season will conclude at night on Las Vegas’s Strip circuit a month later on November 18-20.
“It’s hard to believe we’re already heading into our fifth season of F1 Academy. What we’ve collectively achieved in such a short space of time is something we can all be proud of, and I’m equally excited about what lies ahead,” said Susie Wolff, the championship’s managing director.
“With our 2027 calendar, we’re continuing to build consistency in where we race, which is important for our drivers, teams and fans. I’m hugely grateful to our promoters for their continued support and belief in what we’re building.”
