Super Formula will open its 2027 campaign at Suzuka on March 12, setting a full Japanese‑only calendar of seven weekends and no overseas events.
Weekend and venue lineup
- March 12‑14: Suzuka
- April 16‑18: Motegi
- May 14‑16: Autopolis
- June 25‑27: Sugo
- July 16‑18: Fuji
- October 8‑10: Fuji
- November 26‑28: Suzuka
Key scheduling shifts
Suzuka regains its opening slot after the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix moved earlier, forcing Super Formula to start at Motegi. The return of Suzuka reflects the re‑establishment of the March opener in 2027.
Motegi rebounds as the second round in mid‑April, while Autopolis re‑establishes its May slot, having been pushed forward last year. Sugo, normally an August event, moves to late June to accommodate the industry‑wide F1‑style summer break that begins the second week of August and runs through Obon.
These adjustments create a three‑month gap between the July Fuji race and the much‑anticipated October Fuji return, extending the season’s stretch.
Race count and format
The exact number of races across the seven weekends remains unconfirmed, but historically the series has run 12 races per season when all rounds (except Autopolis and Sugo) are double‑headers.
With venues and dates solidified, teams and drivers will prepare to battle on Japan’s premier circuits, anticipating the new rhythm set for 2027.
