SailGP rolls out its 13-Event 2027 Season which will open with the Hong Kong Sail Grand Prix on January 23-24 2027.
Taking flight on Victoria Harbour with the Hong Kong Sail Grand Prix marks the sail racing championship’s most ambitious global expansion to date.
Hong Kong joins a 13-event calendar spanning Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America and the Middle East. San Francisco also makes its return after a season-long hiatus – a second confirmed SailGP event in the United States in 2027.
SailGP CEO and co-founder Sir Russell Coutts said, “SailGP’s 2027 Season represents a major step forward – reflecting both the scale of our ambition, and the strength of the demand we’re seeing from cities and partners globally wanting to be part of the championship.”
“Hong Kong is a world-class destination for SailGP – and a venue we expect to deliver strong commercial interest and an unmatched fan experience. Victoria Harbour is built for the close-to-shore stadium racing SailGP is becoming known for around the globe.”
The Hong Kong Sail Grand Prix sets the tone for a global championship schedule that blends established host cities with strategic new markets.
From Hong Kong, the Rolex SailGP Championship returns to Perth, Western Australia – one of SailGP’s fastest and most demanding race venues on the calendar.
After a North American swing through San Francisco, Bermuda, Halifax and New York, the championship moves to Europe for a packed summer schedule beginning with the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix on the Solent – where close-to-shore racing and sold-out crowds have made the Portsmouth event one of the standout stops on the calendar.
From there, SailGP returns to Sassnitz on Germany’s Baltic coast and Valencia, Spain, before a final European destination in Italy – to be revealed later this month.
The season races to its finish with back-to-back events in Rio de Janeiro and Dubai, showcasing two of the championship’s most visually spectacular destinations.
