F1 announces 2025 schedule – SBNation.com


The 2024 Formula 1 season is only just beginning.

But the 2025 schedule is already here.

F1 and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), the sport’s governing body, released the schedule for the 2025 F1 season on Friday. As with this year’s schedule, it consists of 24 races, winding drivers, teams, and fans across the globe. The 24 races that are on this season’s calendar all return for 2025, as does the placement of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as the final race of the season.

The year begins, however, Down Under. While the Bahrain Grand Prix has opened the past four seasons, as well as some other F1 campaigns, the Australian Grand Prix returns to the start of the calendar for 2025. That will kick off a three-race stint in Australia, China, and Japan before the circuit heads to the Middle East for races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

The 2025 F1 season will also mark a milestone in the sport’s history, as it will be the 75th anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship.

Speaking in the official announcement, F1 President and CEO Stefano Domenicali had this to say about the schedule for next Season. “2025 will be a special year as we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the FIA Formula One World Championship, and it’s that legacy and experience that allows us to deliver such a strong calendar,” said Domenicali. “Once again, we’ll visit 24 incredible venues around the world, delivering top class racing, hospitality, and entertainment, which will be enjoyed by millions of fans worldwide.”

Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the President of the FIA, hailed the schedule and the sport’s continued push towards sustainability. In recent years F1 has moved to a more “regionalized” scheduling model, which continues into 2025. As noted earlier the year begins with races in Australia, China, and Japan before shifting to the Middle East.

Then there is a European portion of the calendar, as with 2024. Similar to this season, 2025 winds down with four races in the Americas — the United States Grand Prix, the Mexico City Grand Prix, the São Paulo Grand Prix, and the Las Vegas Grand Prix — before returning to the Middle East to close out the year.

“The 2025 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar, approved by the World Motor Sport Council, is a further illustration of our collective mission of meeting sustainability objectives through the regionalisation of events. While our focus is on the overall stability of Formula 1, we also have a shared duty to the environment and to the health and well-being of travelling staff,” said Ben Sulayem.

“Formula One Management, under the direction of Stefano Domenicali, have produced a calendar which strikes a good blend of traditional circuits and modern venues. We thank the host ASNs, the local organisers and the many thousands of FIA volunteers for their tireless efforts in making Formula 1 a truly global, mass audience spectacle as we prepare to celebrate the sport’s 75th year,” added the FIA President.
