Race calendar and results

The season will begin on 3 May at Anderstorp Raceway, and will conclude on 29 September at Jyllands-Ringen, on a second-time visit to Denmark for the series, after 15 races held over six rounds. The rounds at Karlskoga, Falkenberg and Jyllands-Ringen are held together with the Nordic 4 Championship, after an agreement between the two series was reached in 2023 order to have combined grids, [12] and will be triple-header rounds, whereas the remaining stand-alone rounds will have two races each. From this season onwards, Formula Nordic will adapt the grid conformation format from Nordic 4 for the shared rounds. [13]
