Algarve International Circuit will return to the Formula 1 calendar for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
Located near Portimao in southern Portugal, the track will take Zandvoort’s spot as the Dutch circuit exits after just a six-year stint.
Algarve previously hosted F1 on two occasions, in the COVID-affected 2020 and 2021 campaigns. Both races were won by Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton – with team-mate Valtteri Bottas and Red Bull’s Max Verstappen making up the podium, but not every time in that order.
The Portuguese Grand Prix is a classic fixture on the F1 calendar; this will be its 19th and 20th races, 13 of which took place at Estoril, near Lisbon, from 1984 to 1996.

Three earlier races took place from 1958 to 1960 – two of them on a street track in Porto, one of them at Lisbon’s treacherous Monsanto Park Circuit.
