NASCAR announced Chicagoland Speedway will return to the 2027 schedule with a three-race weekend in Joliet on June 25–27: ARCA Menards Series on Friday, NASCAR O’Reilly Auto Parts Series on Saturday, and the Cup Series on Sunday, continuing the fan-backed 2026 sellout, while the Chicago Street Race will not return in 2027.
IndyCar announced Phase One of the 2027 schedule: eight races, opening with three consecutive weekends (St. Petersburg, Phoenix Raceway, Arlington) and FOX broadcasting every race for the third straight year; after Barber Motorsports Park in April, the calendar includes Long Beach, IMS road course (Sonsio Grand Prix), the 111th Indianapolis 500, and the Detroit Grand Prix on June 6, with two pre-season open tests and Phase Two to follow in coming weeks.

NASCAR's 2027 Cup Series schedule is shaping up as a mix of nostalgic returns and rotating tracks under a new Chase-era format: The Clash likely moves to Daytona with the All-Star Race possibly at North Wilkesboro; Bristol's night race would shift to August with New Hampshire taking its September slot; Watkins Glen moves into The Chase (Gateway may drop out for late summer); Dover stays as a May points race and Richmond could join The Chase if a midsummer pause is needed; Chicago's street race and San Diego's naval base event remain undecided, with San Diego favored but Chicago still on the table, meaning Chicagoland could be dropped if both appear; no international events are planned for 2027, though fans hope for Mexico City or Montreal in the future.

The plan also outlines TV coverage: FOX/FS1 will air the first 14 races, Prime will carry the next five, TNT the following five, and USA/NBC the final 14, with updates as more tracks confirm dates.

Interleague play includes AL teams, plus a White Sox home-and-home, and three holiday games at Wrigley (Easter, Mother’s Day, Independence Day); times are TBD and subject to change.
