Global Tour: F1 ACADEMY Outlines Seven-Round Schedule for 2027
F1 ACADEMY has officially confirmed the schedule for its 2027 campaign, marking the fifth season of the premier all-female junior racing championship. Once again running as an integral support category alongside Formula 1 Grands Prix, the series will navigate a diverse, worldwide calendar featuring seven rounds distributed across Asia, Europe, and North America.
The 2027 championship will launch in the Middle East at the rapid Jeddah Corniche Circuit in Saudi Arabia in March. From there, the paddock transitions to the Shanghai International Circuit in China in April, followed by a trans-Atlantic journey to Canada for an appearance at Montreal’s Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in May.
European Double-Header and a Debut at the Hungaroring
The summer leg of the schedule anchors the championship in Europe with a high-profile back-to-back sequence. Competitors will first head to the historic Silverstone Circuit in the United Kingdom from July 2-4. Following that event, F1 ACADEMY will make its competitive debut in Hungary from July 30 to August 1, with the Hungaroring officially becoming the 17th circuit worldwide to feature an F1 ACADEMY round.
Following the European swing, the championship will wrap up its season with a decisive North American stretch featuring two rounds in the United States. In late October, drivers will face the sweeping turns of the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. The season finale will then take place under the illuminated skyline of the Las Vegas Strip Circuit in November, concluding the 2027 title fight on one of motorsport’s most prominent stages.
Susie Wolff on Consistency and Driving New Opportunities
Managing Director Susie Wolff praised the category’s continued growth, the stability of the schedule, and the increasing opportunities created for female competitors across the motorsport landscape.
Susie Wolff, Managing Director of F1 ACADEMY, said: 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.
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.
Every season we’re seeing more fans, more young girls inspired to get involved in motorsport and more opportunities for female talent. The level of competition continues to rise year on year, and we’ve seen some incredible racing as a result. I’m excited to see that level pushed even higher in 2027.
Why This Matters
Maintaining a dedicated support presence on the Formula 1 weekend bill ensures that emerging female drivers race on elite, Grade 1 circuits before global audiences and team executives. The 2027 calendar provides essential geographic diversity—combining demanding street circuits such as Jeddah and Las Vegas with heritage permanent tracks like Silverstone and the Hungaroring. Adding Budapest as the 17th venue in the series’ history expands the category’s footprint in Central Europe, while repeat visits to key markets solidify the series’ commercial foundation and talent pipeline.
