Formula 1 has announced the calendar for the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship, which has been approved by the World Motor Sport Council.

Kicking off in Bahrain on March 5 and concluding in Abu Dhabi on November 26, the season will feature a record-breaking 24 races, with China and Qatar set to return, and Las Vegas arriving as the penultimate round for a Saturday night race.

The traditional summer break will remain in August, though changes to race dates see Belgium move to the end of July as a back-to-back with Hungary, while the Netherlands is twinned with Italy after the restart.

Speaking of the announcement of the calendar, Formula 1 CEO and President Stefano Domenicali said:Ā ā€œWe are excited to announce the 2023 calendar with 24 races around the world. Formula 1 has unprecedented demand to host races and it is important we get the balance right for the entire sport.

ā€œWe are very pleased with the strong momentum Formula 1 continues to experience and it is great news that we will be able to bring our passionate fans a mix of exciting new locations such as Las Vegas to the Championship with much loved venues across Europe, Asia and the Americas.ā€

ā€œThe presence of 24 races on the 2023 FIA Formula One World Championship calendar is further evidence of the growth and appeal of the sport on a global scale,ā€ added FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

ā€œThe addition of new venues and the retention of traditional events underlines the FIAā€™s sound stewardship of the sport.

ā€œI am delighted that we will be able to take Formula 1ā€™s new era of exciting racing, created by the FIAā€™s 2022 Regulations, to a broader fan base in 2023.

ā€œIn framing the 2023 F1 calendar, WMSC Members have also been mindful of the timing of the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans.ā€
