Formula 1 returns to Suzuka for the next round of the 2025 World Championship: the Japanese Grand Prix takes place on April 6.

Japan is the first of three races in a row, completed by a trip to the Middle East for races in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia.

That will conclude a hectic first part of the season, featuring five races in just over a month, in which the prospects look good for an almighty championship battle between Ferrari, McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes.

Two weeks later comes the Miami Grand Prix — a race that often sees teams bring the first of the year’s major upgrades. McLaren did so in 2024, and instantly had the fastest car on the grid, so watch out for the potential of a revised competitive order.

Imola is next on May 16, marking the start of the European season with another triple-header. The following week will bring the final Monaco Grand Prix to be held in May for some time. Its clash with the Indy 500 (on May 25) will be avoided from 2026, when the blue riband event is shifted to a June date.

Spain wraps up the three races in a row before a trip to Canada, and then the remainder of the European rounds, including the British Grand Prix at Silverstone on July 6. In 2025, the summer break will take place between the Hungarian Grand Prix on August 3 and the Dutch Grand Prix on August 31.

The final run-in mirrors the 2024 season, with races in Baku and Singapore before an extended run in the Americas: Austin, Mexico, Brazil and Las Vegas precede the final two rounds in Qatar and Abu Dhabi — another triple header to bring the year to a close on December 7.

Here is the full schedule for the 2025 season, including links to circuit maps and information on how to watch each race.
