F1 Academy has today announced the calendar for the 2024 F1 Academy season which will feature seven rounds, all of which will be support series to the FIA Formula One World Championship™.

In addition to the hosts of the opening and closing rounds, Miami, Qatar, and Singapore will all join the calendar for the first time, with Zandvoort and Barcelona returning for a second year.
