F1 Live Milan Set for February 2027
Formula 1 has confirmed that Milan will host its official 2027 season launch event, expanding its collective pre-season presentation into a multi-day format. Scheduled for February 18–20, the gathering will serve as the sport's second centralized season kickoff following the inaugural F1 75 Live event held at London's The O2 in 2025.
The centerpiece of the weekend, dubbed F1 The Show, takes place on the evening of February 18. The presentation will feature drivers and team principals from all 11 confirmed teams on the grid, accompanied by live musical acts and entertainment prior to the start of on-track pre-season testing.
Expanding the Fan Festival Model
Rather than isolated team rollouts staged across European factory bays and private test tracks, Formula 1 continues to centralize its pre-season unveilings into public-facing spectacles. The three-day festival in Lombardy aims to combine live entertainment with direct fan access before the cars face technical scrutineering and pre-season mileage.
"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," said Formula 1 president Stefano Domenicali. "Building on the extraordinary success of F1 75 in London, F1 Live Milan will transform the city into a Formula 1 festival for three unforgettable days."
