2025 Formula One Race Schedule Released
Australia will host opening weekend as opening five races are shuffled
Posted On: April 15, 2024 By :Australia will return to the opening weekend for the 2025 Formula One season as the 24-race calendar has been revealed with the opening five events shuffled around.
The 2025 season will start in Melbourne on March 16, followed by China on March 23 before Japan on April 6. The fourth and fifth races, respectively, will be April 13 in Bahrain and April 20 in Saudi Arabia, which the past few years had been the opening two races. The reason for the shuffle is due to the timing of Ramadan through March 2025.
“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 Formula 1 Chief Executive Officer and President Stefano 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.
Outside of the first five weeks, most of the calendar remains the same including the five North American stops on the schedule. Miami remains in the opening segment of the schedule on May 4, while Montreal hosts in June 15 and the final three North American stops are toward the end of the schedule with Austin on October 19, Mexico City on October 26 and Las Vegas on November 22.
The traditional summer break remains in August, with three weekends off separating the pre-holiday Hungarian Grand Prix and the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort. There are no new sites in the 2025 calendar; the next time a site will be modified is 2026 when the Spanish Grand Prix goes to Madrid from Barcelona.
“We’re grateful to the FIA, our promoters, host city partners and all the related ASNs for their commitment and support in delivering this schedule and securing what promises to be another fantastic year for Formula 1,” Domenicali said.
