The F4 Spanish Championship has revealed its provisional seven-round calendar for 2027, with Jarama moving to the opening slot as the series prepares to begin its second decade.

The championship will visit the same seven circuits that feature on the 2026 schedule, but their order has been substantially reshuffled. The Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE will open the season from 9–11 April, while the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya retains its traditional position as the finale from 29–31 October.

Portugal’s Autódromo Internacional do Algarve remains the only event outside Spain, with Portimão hosting Round 4 in July. Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Jerez, MotorLand Aragón and Navarra complete a calendar that keeps Spanish F4 firmly centred on the Iberian Peninsula while offering drivers seven different circuit characteristics across the season.

Jarama moves from August to season opener

The most significant change comes at Jarama, which moves from the middle of the 2026 campaign to the opening weekend of 2027.

Spanish F4 last began a season at the historic Madrid circuit in 2024, and it will return to that role from 9–11 April. The move creates a substantially different opening challenge from 2026, when the championship started at Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia.

Jarama returned to the regular Spanish F4 schedule this year after its date was confirmed for August. The narrow 3.850km circuit immediately played an important role in the title fight, with Kasper Schormans taking the championship lead after a victory and two second places during Round 4.

Its elevation changes, limited run-off and combination of technical and high-speed corners make it considerably different from the more modern circuits on the calendar. Starting the season there should therefore place immediate emphasis on qualifying precision and avoiding mistakes.

Valencia shifts to Round 2

Circuit Ricardo Tormo moves from the season opener to Round 2, taking place from 21–23 May.

The Valencia venue has been one of Spanish F4’s regular destinations and opened the current campaign from 10–12 April. Its position later in the 2027 schedule creates a six-week gap after Jarama before the championship resumes.

The 4.005km circuit provides a very different test from Jarama, with a wider layout and a combination of slow, medium and faster corners. That contrast should give teams an early indication of whether the competitive order established in Madrid carries across different circuit types.

Jerez moves into first half of season

The Circuito de Jerez Ángel Nieto follows from 18–20 June.

Jerez currently occupies Round 5 of the 2026 championship, making its move to the third event one of the larger scheduling changes for next season. The Andalusian circuit will now precede the championship’s only international trip rather than forming part of the closing title run.

The venue remains an established part of the Spanish junior single-seater landscape and continues the run of three Spanish events that will open the campaign.

Portimão remains sole international round

The Autódromo Internacional do Algarve retains its place as the championship’s only visit outside Spain, although it moves from Round 2 to Round 4.

Portimão will host the series from 16–18 July, forming the midpoint of the seven-round season. The Portuguese circuit has become a regular feature of Spanish F4 and again provides the championship with its only international event under the current calendar structure.

The venue’s significant elevation changes and blind crests create one of the most distinctive challenges of the year. The circuit also played an important role during the 2026 championship, with the results of its third race later revised following post-event sporting decisions.

Spanish F4’s decision to retain Portimão continues the championship’s primarily Iberian focus. The 2026 season similarly features just one round outside Spain, with the Algarve circuit providing that international element.

MotorLand follows just two weeks later

Teams will face a quick turnaround after Portugal, with MotorLand Aragón scheduled from 30 July–1 August.

The Spanish circuit therefore moves from Round 3 in 2026 to fifth on the 2027 calendar. More significantly, only two weeks separate Portimão and Aragón, creating the busiest part of the season immediately before the summer break.

MotorLand’s long back straight, heavy braking zones and varied corner profile traditionally create opportunities for overtaking while also placing importance on aerodynamic efficiency.

Once the Aragón weekend is complete, teams will have more than two months before racing resumes at Navarra in October.

Navarra opens final stretch

Circuito de Navarra retains its position as the penultimate round, with the championship visiting the circuit from 8–10 October.

That continuity makes Navarra one of the least altered events between the two seasons. It hosts Round 6 from 9–11 October in 2026 and will perform the same role almost exactly one year later.

Its late-season position means the event could again become significant in deciding which drivers remain mathematically involved before Barcelona.

Barcelona again hosts season finale

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya will once more bring the season to a close from 29–31 October.

Barcelona has become the established finale for Spanish F4, and that tradition continues into 2027. The only major change is timing: the championship concludes one week earlier than in 2026, when the final round takes place from 6–8 November.

The Formula 1 venue provides an appropriate final test because of its mixture of high-speed, medium-speed and slower corners, allowing car balance and tyre management to play a major role in the title decider.

Same venues, substantially different order

Unlike several junior single-seater calendars that have expanded their international footprint, Spanish F4 has opted for continuity in its selection of circuits.

All seven venues on the 2027 calendar also feature during 2026. The changes instead come almost entirely through their positions in the season.

The 2026 Spanish F4 calendar starts at Valencia before visiting Portimão, MotorLand, Jarama, Jerez, Navarra and Barcelona. In 2027, Jarama moves from fourth to first, Valencia shifts to second, Jerez advances from fifth to third, while Portimão and MotorLand move back to fourth and fifth respectively. Navarra and Barcelona remain in their existing closing positions.

That rearrangement creates a notably different rhythm. The season begins with three Spanish rounds before the July trip to Portugal, whereas 2026 featured Portimão as early as Round 2.

Spanish F4 enters second decade

The 2027 campaign comes after Spanish F4 celebrates its tenth season this year, marking the beginning of the championship’s second decade.

Since its relaunch, the category has developed into one of the most heavily subscribed Formula 4 championships in Europe, regularly attracting large international grids and drivers beginning their first full campaigns in single-seater racing. The current 2026 opener featured 36 cars representing 12 teams.

General Manager Marco Rodríguez said the championship intends to maintain that role as it moves into its next phase.

“After ten seasons of continuous growth, we enter 2027 with the same ambition that has driven the F4 Spanish Championship from the beginning: to provide young drivers with the best possible environment to take their first steps in single-seater racing. This calendar combines some of the best circuits in Spain and Portugal and gives our teams and drivers a demanding and complete sporting challenge. As we begin our second decade, our objective is to continue strengthening the championship’s position as one of the leading Formula 4 series internationally”.

2027 F4 Spanish Championship calendar

The provisional 2027 calendar features seven rounds:

• Round 1: Circuito de Madrid Jarama-RACE, Spain — 9–11 April
• Round 2: Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Spain — 21–23 May
• Round 3: Circuito de Jerez Ángel Nieto, Spain — 18–20 June
• Round 4: Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, Portugal — 16–18 July
• Round 5: MotorLand Aragón, Spain — 30 July–1 August
• Round 6: Circuito de Navarra, Spain — 8–10 October
• Round 7: Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain — 29–31 October

The calendar remains subject to final approval by the RFEDA.

Continuity forms basis of 2027 schedule

Spanish F4’s 2027 calendar represents evolution rather than expansion. There are no new circuits and no venues disappear, giving teams continuity while altering the sequence in which they face each challenge.

Jarama’s move to the opening weekend is the headline change, replacing Valencia as the first competitive test of the year. Jerez also becomes an early-season event, while the Portimão-MotorLand double-header creates an intensive July before the summer break.

Navarra and Barcelona then retain their established roles in the championship run-in, with the Catalan circuit again determining the final standings.

For a championship beginning its second decade, the approach keeps the established Iberian identity intact. Six events remain in Spain, Portimão provides the sole international visit, and the same seven circuits return while a reshuffled order gives the 2027 campaign a different competitive shape.
