The DTM has confirmed an eight-round, 16-race calendar for the 2027 season, with the Red Bull Ring set to open the championship from 23-25 April.
The series will visit three countries across six months, with six German venues joined by Austria’s Red Bull Ring and Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands. Meanwhile, the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg will retain its traditional position as the season finale from 8-10 October.
The 2027 calendar maintains the same eight-weekend format while changing the order of several events. Furthermore, DTM tickets for next season will go on sale on 11 October, the final day of the 2026 campaign.
Red Bull Ring retains season-opening slot
The Red Bull Ring will once again launch the DTM season after taking over as the championship opener in 2026. The Styrian venue will host the opening two races from 23-25 April, with the Austrian Grand Prix circuit providing the first competitive test of the new campaign. Its fast layout, elevation changes and mountainous setting give the championship a distinctive backdrop for its opening weekend.
Only two weeks later, the paddock will travel to Motorsport Arena Oschersleben from 7-9 May. The German circuit presents a considerably different challenge. Its technical layout rewards precision and consistency, giving teams little time to reset before the second round of the season.
Lausitzring and Norisring lead into summer
After the opening double-header, the championship will take a longer break before returning at the DEKRA Lausitzring from 18-20 June. The event begins a busy early-summer period, with one of the championship’s most distinctive rounds following just two weeks later.
The Norisring will host Round 4 from 2-4 July as the DTM once again takes over the streets of Nuremberg. Germany’s only street circuit remains one of the championship’s signature venues. Its short layout, concrete walls and heavy braking zones regularly produce close racing, while the packed grandstands create one of the most recognisable atmospheres on the calendar.
The Norisring will also bring the championship to the halfway point, with eight of the season’s 16 races completed by the end of the weekend.
Zandvoort begins second half of championship
Following another month-long break, the DTM will return to international competition at Circuit Zandvoort from 6-8 August. The Dutch venue will host Races 9 and 10 as the championship begins its second half on the North Sea coast. Zandvoort combines fast corners, significant elevation changes and its distinctive banked sections, while its position among the dunes creates another unique setting within the DTM calendar.
The series will then return to Germany just two weeks later for the Nürburgring from 20-22 August. That weekend will begin the decisive phase of the championship, with only four races remaining afterwards.
Sachsenring sets up Hockenheim title showdown
The Sachsenring will host the penultimate round from 24-26 September following a month-long gap after the Nürburgring. Its technical and flowing configuration will offer drivers one final opportunity to strengthen their championship positions before the traditional finale.
Then, from 8-10 October, the DTM will return to the Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg for the final two races of the season. The circuit has long provided the setting for the championship’s concluding weekend, and that tradition will continue in 2027.
Any title fights that remain unresolved after the Sachsenring will therefore culminate at Hockenheim, where the championship will crown its 2027 drivers’, teams’ and manufacturers’ champions.
DTM retains established venues for 2027
Rather than introducing new circuits, the DTM has chosen to continue with venues that already form an established part of the championship. However, the series has altered the sequence in which teams will visit them.
ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss highlighted both the championship’s growing spectator numbers and the desire to maintain popular venues when explaining the approach to the 2027 calendar.
“The excitement in the grandstands show that the DTM is on the road to success and is hugely appealing to spectators. We have seen a 13% growth in the number of visitors in the first five events of this year. We want to carry that momentum into the 2027 season and are sticking with tried-and-tested venues that are popular with visitors. However, we are varying the order. With eight top-class race weekends, racetracks steeped in tradition, and a balanced mix of national highlights and international outings, we are once again able to offer fans, teams and partners a calendar that is right out of the top drawer,” says ADAC Motorsport Director Thomas Voss.
The series will therefore continue to combine its core German venues with two international events while maintaining the established two-race format at every round.

Six months of racing await in 2027
The 2027 schedule gives the DTM another compact eight-round campaign while spreading its 16 races across almost six months.
The Red Bull Ring will provide the opening chapter in April before Oschersleben, the Lausitzring and Norisring complete the first half of the season. Zandvoort will then launch the second half in August, followed by the Nürburgring and Sachsenring as the championship battle intensifies. Finally, Hockenheim will once again provide the stage for the decisive weekend.
With eight familiar venues across Austria, Germany and the Netherlands, the DTM has opted for continuity in 2027 while changing the order in which its title fight will unfold.
