F1 Sim Racing 2025 esports calendar

The 2025 F1 Sim Racing competition – the official esports video game championship of Formula 1 – will see 12 rounds across the season.

Each will be held in person, a LAN environment within a Swedish studio, as drivers fight it out for a share of a lucrative prize pool.

Each round will be broadcast live on the main F1 YouTube channel, and the F1 Esports Twitch, with qualifying sessions followed by a 50 per cent-length race.

The schedule is compact. In effect, there are three events, each event hosting four rounds across four days. The game in use is EA SPORTS F1 24.

At the end of the 12 rounds, a drivers’ and teams’ champion will be crowned.
