2027 European Le Mans Series

The 2027 European Le Mans Series will be the twenty-fourth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series. The six-event season will begin at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on 14 March and is scheduled to finish at Algarve International Circuit on 2 October.[1]

The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes, divided into the LMP2 and LMP3 classes, and grand tourer-style racing cars in the LMGT3 class.

Calendar

The calendar for the 2027 season was announced on 3 July 2026. The calendar features the same six circuits in the same order as the previous season, with the only notable change being the opening round moving from an April date to March.[1]

For the second round at Circuit Paul Ricard, the chicane on the Mistral Straight will be removed, allowing drivers to use the full 1.8 km long (1.1 mile) straight for the first time since the 2024 4 Hours of Le Castellet.[2]
