Formula 1 will launch its 2027 season with a three-day fan festival in Milan, culminating in a major live show featuring the drivers and team principals from all 11 teams.
The event will be over the course of three days and is taking place on Feb. 18-20 in Italy. It comes after a successful event that was staged ahead of the 2025 season live in London to mark the 75th anniversary of the F1 championship.
'F1 Live Milan' is set to be split into two opportunities for fans to immersive themselves into the world of F1. The first is the 'Milan Fan Festival' which will run over three days.
The second is 'F1 The Show' which will be a one-night only spectacle on Feb. 18, featuring drivers and team principals from the 11 teams on the grid, along with music and entertainment.
"We are always thinking big and pushing boundaries, and F1 Live Milan is going to be an incredible experience created with our fans at its heart," CEO of Formula 1 Stefano Domenicali said.
"We want them to feel that they are not simply watching the sport, but they are truly immersed in it. It is an important part of our ongoing ambition to bring Formula 1 closer to fans than ever before, giving them the chance to see their heroes up close and experience the energy, innovation, and emotion that make Formula 1 so unique.
"As F1 continues to reach new audiences around the world, racing will always be our soul -- but we also want to create unforgettable experiences that bring the excitement of Formula 1 to life on an even bigger scale and continue to explore what is possible.

I know my fellow Italians will offer a fantastic welcome to fans travelling to F1 Live Milan and I cannot wait to see the city come to life with Formula 1 energy, creating memories that will last a lifetime."
