You can watch the entire 2024 Formula One season live on Sky Sports F1, with the season-opening race taking place in Bahrain on March 2.
The calendar: 24 races for 2024
In 2024, Formula 1 will reach new heights as it will have a record-breaking 24-race schedule for the first time. The entire race schedule will air live on Sky Sports F1.
With back-to-back races in Bahrain on March 2 and Saudi Arabia on March 9, the season once again gets underway in the Middle East. Because of Ramadan, they will both happen on a Saturday in 2024.
The British Grand Prix at Silverstone is on July 7, and for the first time since 2019, the season’s fifth round will take place in China. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 8 will mark the conclusion of the season.
Six Sprint weekends will take place at the Grands Prix in China, Miami, Austria, the United States, Sao Paulo, and Qatar once more.
Pre-season testing is scheduled to return to Bahrain the week prior to the inaugural grand prix at the same circuit, which is scheduled for February 21–23.

The drivers: A rare unchanged grid
If the make-up of the 2024 field looks familiar, then that’s because it is. The 20-driver grid that lines up in Bahrain on March 2 will be exactly the same as the one that finished the 2023 campaign in Abu Dhabi.
While such winter stability is highly unusual, don’t expect that to last long-term given as many as 15 of the field are out of contract at the end of 2024.
Only Lewis Hamilton, George Russell, Lando Norris (all 2025), Oscar Piastri (2026) and Max Verstappen (2028) officially have deals in place beyond 2024 so far.
