The 2027 Michelin Le Mans Cup calendar will once again feature the same six iconic circuits that hosted an event in 2025 and 2026, with an earlier start to the season in March. All of the races, with the exception of the Road To Le Mans in June, will be part of the highly popular European Le Mans Series package.
The six-round series will begin in Barcelona, with the Collective Test on March 10th, one month earlier than in 2026, followed by Round 1 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya on Saturday 13th March.
Le Castellet will once again be the final test before Le Mans, with Round 2 on Saturday 1st May. In a change from the last two years, the chicane on the Mistral Straight will be removed in 2027 allowing the competitors to face the challenge of the full 1.8km straight for the first time since 2024.
After the successful introduction of a 3-hour race on the full 13.6km Circuit des 24 Heures in 2026, the 2027 Road To Le Mans, which is the highlight of the season, will follow the same format. Round 3 of the MLMC will be held on Friday 11th June, one day before the 95th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
After Le Mans there is a two-month break, with the MLMC returning in August for Round 4 at Spa-Francorchamps on Saturday 21 August. After the first ever Michelin Le Mans Cup race was held in the UK at Silverstone in 2025, the series will once again return to the Home of British Motorsport on Saturday 4th September.
The 2027 season will mark the 10th anniversary of the first MLMC race held at the Autódromo Internacional do Algarve, with the season finale being held on Saturday 2nd October.
Pierre Fillon, President of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest: "In 2027, the Michelin Le Mans Cup will continue its development with a calendar featuring six iconic European circuits, once again providing an exceptional stage for competition. As a key stepping stone for emerging endurance racing drivers and teams, the series continues to reinforce its vital role on the endurance ladder.
“The return of Road to Le Mans in the same format as 2026, including a three-hour race on Friday, will further enhance the level of competition. Held on the legendary Circuit des 24 Heures du Mans as the third round of the championship, this hugely popular event will once again give competitors an experience that is even closer to the spirit of the 24 Hours of Le Mans."
Frédéric Lequien, Le Mans Endurance Management (LMEM) CEO: “For the third year in a row we have selected the same six venues to host the Michelin Le Mans Cup, which provides teams and drivers stability and consistency.
“Along with the European Le Mans Series and Ligier European Series, the Michelin Le Mans Cup provides an exciting weekend of endurance racing, while offering an attractive event for the circuits to promote to their local fanbase, which has resulted in larger crowds at each event year on year.
“The successful running of a 3-hour race for Road To Le Mans added another exciting element to the series and we are pleased to confirm that the Road To Le Mans will run to the same format in 2027.”
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to another exciting Michelin Le Mans Cup season.”
