Monaco Grand Prix 2027: Dates, Tickets & Travel Guide
Quick answer: the Monaco Grand Prix 2027 takes place on the Circuit de Monaco street track in Monte Carlo. The official 2027 date will be confirmed when Formula 1 publishes its 2027 calendar — the race has recently moved to an early June weekend. Official tickets are sold by the Automobile Club de Monaco. Nearest airport: Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), about 30 km away.
No race on the Formula 1 calendar comes close to the glamour of Monte Carlo. Superyachts in the harbour, grandstands squeezed between hotels and the tightest corners in motorsport make the Monaco Grand Prix 2027 one of the most sought-after sporting weekends in Europe.
Here's everything you need to plan your trip: expected dates, where to watch, how to secure official tickets and how to get to the Principality.
When is the Monaco Grand Prix 2027?
Formula 1 normally publishes the following season's calendar in the autumn. Monaco has a long-term deal to stay on the calendar, and from 2026 the race moved from its traditional late-May slot to an early-June weekend. We'll update this guide as soon as the official Monaco Grand Prix 2027 date is confirmed.
- Friday: practice sessions.
- Saturday: final practice and qualifying — arguably the most important session of the weekend, because overtaking in Monaco is so difficult.
- Sunday: the Grand Prix itself, 78 laps around the streets of Monte Carlo.
The circuit: Circuit de Monaco
The Circuit de Monaco is a 3.3 km street circuit that winds past the Casino, through the famous tunnel and along the harbour. Its slow, narrow corners — like the Fairmont hairpin — make it the ultimate test of driver precision.
How to buy Monaco Grand Prix 2027 tickets
- Official grandstands: the Automobile Club de Monaco sells grandstand seats around the track. Popular spots include the harbour-side grandstands near the swimming pool section and the seats overlooking the start/finish straight.
- General admission (Rocher): the hillside below the Prince's Palace offers a cheaper, standing view over part of the circuit. Arrive early for a good spot.
- Hospitality: terraces, balconies and yachts offer premium packages with food, drinks and a private view — the priciest but most comfortable way to watch.
Ticket alert: demand for Monaco is huge and seats sell fast. Buy only through the Automobile Club de Monaco or Formula 1's official channels to avoid fake or overpriced tickets.
Getting to Monaco
- Nearest airport: Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), about 30 km from Monaco.
- By train: regional trains run along the coast from Nice to the Monaco-Monte-Carlo station in around 20–25 minutes — the easiest option on race weekend.
- By helicopter: a shuttle links Nice Airport and Monaco in a few minutes for those who want to arrive in style.
- Avoid driving: many roads close for the race and parking is extremely limited.
Where to stay
Hotels in Monaco itself are very expensive and book up early. Many fans stay in Nice, Menton, Beausoleil or Cap-d'Ail and take the train in each day — cheaper and still only minutes away.
