Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2027

The Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2027 takes place from 24 to 26 September 2027 on the Baku City Circuit in Baku, Azerbaijan. The race weekend is one of the most dramatic on the Formula 1 calendar, held on public streets in the city centre. It is ideal for motorsport fans, corporate guests and short city breaks from the Gulf and beyond.

About the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix is a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship. It is held on the Baku City Circuit, a temporary street track that runs through the heart of the capital, past the walls of the Old City and along the seafront boulevard on the Caspian Sea.

The circuit is known for its mix of long, fast straights and very tight corners, especially the narrow section beside the Old City walls. That mix often leads to close racing and surprise results, which is one reason fans enjoy the weekend.

Baku is a popular short-haul destination for travellers from the Gulf, and the Grand Prix gives them an extra reason to visit. Between sessions, visitors can explore the Old City, the Flame Towers, the boulevard and the city's restaurants and shopping streets.

Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2027 dates and venue

The Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2027 dates are 24 to 26 September 2027, according to the official Formula 1 calendar. A Formula 1 weekend usually includes practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday and the race on Sunday.

The venue is the Baku City Circuit in central Baku. Session times, grandstands, fan zones and Azerbaijan Grand Prix tickets are available through the official Baku City Circuit website. Buy tickets only through official channels.

Late September in Baku is usually warm and pleasant, with cooler evenings and sometimes a strong wind off the Caspian.

How to get to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix

Baku's main gateway is Heydar Aliyev International Airport (GYD), with direct and connecting flights to the Gulf, Türkiye, Europe and Central Asia. Taxis, ride-hailing and pre-booked transfers connect the airport with the city centre, and there is also an airport bus service.

Because the track uses city streets, many central roads are closed or changed during the race weekend. Walking and the Baku Metro are often the easiest ways to reach the circuit gates. Allow plenty of time, and check the official website for gate and transport information.

Travellers should check the official entry requirements for Azerbaijan before they book.

Where to stay

For a trip to Baku for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, popular areas include:

• The Old City (Icherisheher) and the area around it, right next to the track.
• The seafront boulevard and Fountains Square, within walking distance of many grandstands.
• Nasimi and the central business district, with many hotels and metro access.
• The White City and the eastern districts, for newer hotels and easier road access.

Race weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for Baku hotels, so book early and confirm group allocations well in advance. Check how close each hotel is to your clients' grandstand gate.

A group tour to the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is usually a three- or four-night package. Tips for agencies:
