Portuguese Grand Prix set to return to Formula 1 calendar in 2027
The Portuguese Grand Prix at Portimão is set to return to the Formula 1 calendar under a two-year agreement for 2027 and 2028, organisers confirmed on Tuesday.
The Algarve circuit previously hosted the race in 2020 and 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with both editions won by Lewis Hamilton.
Portugal has a long history with F1, having hosted a Grand Prix at Estoril from 1984 to 1996, and earlier races in 1958–1960 at other venues.
The Portuguese GP is expected to replace the Dutch Grand Prix, which is scheduled to be removed from the calendar after 2026. Next year’s Dutch race will take place in late August.
F1 president Stefano Domenicali praised the circuit, saying: “The circuit delivers on-track excitement from the first corner to the chequered flag, and its energy lifts fans out of their seats.”
The 2025 F1 season will begin in Melbourne on March 8, with Lando Norris defending the drivers’ title he claimed earlier this month in Abu Dhabi.
