F1 Reveals 2025 Schedule: Australia Returns as Opening Race

• One of the biggest scheduling changes is Australia returning to its season-opening slot, on March 16.

• Miami, Austin and Las Vegas return, as the United States once again will have three races.

• The 2025 season will conclude in its usual setting of Abu Dhabi, on December 7.

Australia will return as the host of Formula 1’s opening Grand Prix in 2025 after championship organizers revealed next year’s 24-event calendar on Friday.

Formula 1 has moved early to reveal 2025’s schedule—with only four of this year’s 24 Grands Prix having been run—and it will feature the same events as the current campaign.

One of the biggest scheduling changes is Australia returning to its season-opening slot, on March 16, meaning it will act as the curtain raiser for the first time since 2019.

Per Australia’s contract, which runs through 2037, it is due to hold the opening round on the four occasions that the timing of Ramadan precludes Formula 1 from visiting the Middle East in early-mid March.

The 2025 season will conclude in its usual setting of Abu Dhabi, on December 7.
