F1 season: Full race schedule for 2025

The 2025 F1 season is once again a 24 race affair with stops at Silverstone, Austria and Canada among the next Grand Prix

Australia hosted the opening race of the Formula 1 season this year – with no new races once again on the calendar.

Lewis Hamilton made his debut for Ferrari at Albert Park in Melbourne, which last hosted the first race of the season in 2019 after Covid put paid to the 2020 opener.

Australia staged the first race of the season on Sunday 16 March - two weeks later than the 2024 start date.

Bahrain has hosted the first race of the season since 2021, following on from pre-season testing at the same track in Sakhir, but has moved to April due to Ramadan.

Saudi has also moved to April, with China and Japan being shifted forward a month to races two and three respectively.

The 24-race season will finish in Abu Dhabi on 7 December. The 2025 British Grand Prix takes place on 4-6 July at Silverstone.

Pre-season testing will remain in Bahrain, two weeks prior to the first race, with three days of running on 26-28 February.

For the second year running, there will be no new races on the schedule. 2026 is set to be different, though, with Madrid already confirmed as the new home of the Spanish Grand Prix, meaning 2025 could be the last year Barcelona hosts an F1 race.

Other calendar alterations include a triple-header in April between Japan-Bahrain-Saudi, while Spain has moved forward three weeks to the end of May/start of June.

Belgium and Hungary have swapped weekends too, with Budapest now hosting the final race before the customary summer break.

This year sees a four-week gap in autumn but there will be no such space in the calendar next year, with just one week’s rest in-between Singapore and Austin in October.
