If all the dates on the 2017 calendar of the F3 European Championship have not been finalized, the FIA World Council has confirmed most of the meetings for the next season. The opening will take place in Great Britain on a circuit which remains to be determined on a date also unknown. The discipline will then return to Monza (Italy) to replace Imola before going to Pau (Pyrénées-Atlantique) on the weekend of May 21.

On the other hand, the second French round contested this year at Paul-Ricard (Var) will disappear for 2017. The calendar will still include ten rounds with three trips to Germany (Norisring, Nürburgring and Hockenheim), one round at Zandvoort (Netherlands), in Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), on the Hungaroring (Hungary) and in Spielberg (Austria).

The FIA World Council has also confirmed that the F3 World Cup will still be contested in Macau on the weekend of November 19.
