Bahrain will take over as the season-opening event next year, with Australia presented as the second round. Taking into account daylight savings time, the change allows the Melbourne race to start at 5pm, following the trend of 'twilight' races imposed by Bernie Ecclestone in order to favour television coverage for European audiences.

The Malaysian Grand Prix will retain its twilight status, however the race is scheduled an hour earlier with hopes of avoiding a mid-race wash-out as was the case this year due to the daily fierce rainstorms of April. Abu Dhabi follows the late-day race format as well, while Singapore remains a late-evening event under the floodlights. Abu Dhabi will host the season finale on November 14.

Canada appears on the 2010 calendar although the contract remains to be signed; if negotiations should fall through again, Turkey which appears on the calendar in any case will be delayed two weeks in order to take over Canada's reserved date.

New to the Formula One championship will be South Korea, with a debut set for October.
