Show The 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship will feature a record 24 races after the calendar was approved by the World Motor Sport Council. Starting on 5 March with the Bahrain Grand Prix, the 2023 F1 season will see the return of China and Qatar while a new Saturday night race in Las Vegas will be the penultimate round on 18 November. The season will finish with the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on 26 November. Pre-season testing has been confirmed for three days, 23-25 February, at the Bahrain International Circuit and the traditional summer break will remain in August. However, F1 has confirmed that the Belgium Grand Prix will move to the end of July as a back-to-back with Hungary, while the Dutch Grand Prix is twinned with the Italian Grand Prix after the restart. Stefano Domenicali, Formula 1 CEO and president, said: “We are excited to announce the 2023 calendar with 24 races around the world. Formula 1 has unprecedented demand to host races and it is important we get the balance right for the entire sport. We are very pleased with the strong momentum Formula 1 continues to experience and it is great news that we will be able to bring our passionate fans a mix of exciting new locations such as Las Vegas to the championship with much loved venues across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, FIA president, added: “The presence of 24 races on the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is further evidence of the growth and appeal of the sport on a global scale. The addition of new venues and the retention of traditional events underlines the FIA’s sound stewardship of the sport.”

Cookie settingsACCEPT Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, confirmed Tuesday that the sport’s 2023 schedule was approved by the World Motor Sport Council, releasing a record-breaking slate of old favorites and new gems. The Monaco Grand Prix will stay on the schedule after uncertainty rose around its status earlier this campaign. Additionally, it has been confirmed that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will take place on a Saturday. Only three races in F1’s history have not occurred on a Sunday, the last being in 1985 with the South African Grand Prix. Las Vegas is reportedly planning to be a 1 am ET/10 pm PT start time. The record-breaking 2023 season will feature 24 races, beginning in early March with Bahrain and end in late November after a doubleheader of Las Vegas and Abu Dhabi. However, there is one race reportedly up in the air because of the COVID-19 pandemic—the Chinese Grand Prix. Qatar returns to the schedule after a one-year absence due to hosting this year’s World Cup, and the Belgian Grand Prix moved to the other side of summer break. The two triple-headers next season will be from May 21-June 4 (Emilia Romagna-Monaco-Spain) and Oct. 22-Nov. 5 (U.S. Grand Prix in Austin-Mexico-Brazil). Formula One later confirmed that Monaco will remain on the schedule until 2025 after a new three-year agreement. Here is the 2023 slate. March 5 - Bahrain Grand Prix March 19 - Saudi Arabian Grand Prix April 2 - Australian Grand Prix April 16 - Chinese Grand Prix April 30 - Azerbaijan Grand Prix May 7 - Miami Grand Prix May 21 - Emilia Romagna Grand Prix May 28 - Monaco Grand Prix June 4 - Spanish Grand Prix June 18 - Canadian Grand Prix July 2 - Austrian Grand Prix July 9 - British Grand Prix July 23 - Hungarian Grand Prix July 30 - Belgian Grand Prix August 27 - Dutch Grand Prix September 3 - Italian Grand Prix September 17 - Singapore Grand Prix September 24 - Japanese Grand Prix October 8 - Qatar Grand Prix October 22 - U.S. Grand Prix October 29 - Mexican Grand Prix November 5 - Brazilian Grand Prix November 18 - Las Vegas Grand Prix November 26 - Abu Dhabi Grand Prix One aspect that was considered in creating the schedule was the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans. In order to avoid clashing with it, there is a break between the Spanish and Canadian Grands Prix. FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said, “The presence of 24 races on the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is further evidence of the growth and appeal of the sport on a global scale. The addition of new venues and the retention of traditional events underlines the FIA’s sound stewardship of the sport. I am delighted that we will be able to take Formula 1’s new era of exciting racing, created by the FIA’s 2022 Regulations, to a broader fan base in 2023. In framing the 2023 F1 calendar, WMSC Members have also been mindful of the timing of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.” More Formula One Coverage:
