F1 2025 schedule: Full race calendar, round dates for Formula One season next year

We may still be in the midst of the current Formula 1 campaign, but planning for the 2025 season is well underway.

There has been criticism of F1's geographical planning of races in recent years, so efforts have been made to create a more logical and environmentally sustainable calendar. 

In another significant change, Melbourne will host the season-opener for the first time since 2019, with the Australian Grand Prix scheduled for mid-March.

The Sporting News has the full schedule for the 2025 season.
