GT World Challenge Europe Calendar 2027
The 2027 GT World Challenge Europe season opens at Circuit Paul Ricard on 15-18 April and closes at Barcelona-Catalunya on 22-24 October. Five rounds count for the Sprint Cup, five for the Endurance Cup, and the 24 Hours of Spa sits in the middle of the year on 24-27 June.
SRO Motorsports Group published the 2027 GT World Challenge Europe calendar on 26 June 2026. Ten rounds again, five Endurance Cup and five Sprint Cup, running from the middle of April to late October. Eight of the ten venues carry over from 2026. Two are new for next season, and one of the returning circuits changes format.

Imola comes back after five years
Monza drops off the calendar for 2027. SRO points to track improvement works planned at the Italian circuit during the slot it would normally take, and Imola fills the gap. It is the first GT World Challenge Europe visit to Imola since 2022, and it lands in the Endurance Cup on 21-23 May.
Hungaroring returns and takes the Sprint Cup finale
The second new name is the Hungaroring, which hosted GT World Challenge Europe rounds between 2016 and 2019. It replaces Portimão and it takes the season-closing Sprint Cup slot on 1-3 October. Portugal is not on the 2027 schedule.
Barcelona switches from Sprint to Endurance
Barcelona stays, but not in the same shape. In 2026 it was a Sprint Cup round in early October. In 2027 it moves to 22-24 October and becomes the Endurance Cup finale, which means the season now ends on a long race rather than a pair of one-hour sprints.
The dates that matter most
Three weekends carry more weight than the rest. Paul Ricard opens the year with the six-hour race on Saturday evening. Spa is the 24 Hours on 24-27 June, the weekend the rest of the GT3 season is planned around. Barcelona now closes the season with a three-hour race and the Endurance Cup title on the line.
Zandvoort keeps its place. The Dutch round stays in the Sprint Cup and stays in its September slot, 17-19 September 2027.
The Nürburgring weekend on 27-29 August is the GT World Challenge visit to the Grand Prix circuit, not the 24-hour race. For that one, and for Le Mans and Spa, see our 2027 24-hour race dates. The German endurance calendar on the Nordschleife runs separately: the NLS 2027 calendar has all eight rounds.
Confirmed on 22 September, with the test dates
On 22 September 2026 SRO confirmed the full 2027 calendar as official, with no changes to the dates above. The same announcement set the pre-season and Spa test dates:
- Season Prologue at Paul Ricard: Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 April, two full days of running
- GT4 European Series Prologue, the first of its kind: Thursday 15 April at Paul Ricard
- CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa Prologue: Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 June
- Spa Speedweek, free to attend: 18 to 20 June
