Australian Grand Prix names Moët & Chandon as 2027 title sponsor

Summary
Moët & Chandon will replace Qatar Airways as the Australian Grand Prix's title sponsor for 2027. The champagne brand, already F1's official celebratory drink, has historic Melbourne ties stretching back to 1888.

Moët & Chandon will become the Australian Grand Prix’s title sponsor for the 2027 race, replacing Qatar Airways. The announcement continues the event’s rotating sponsor strategy, which has seen a different brand each year since the pandemic.

Why it matters:

The deal bolsters the commercial strength of Melbourne’s Albert Park circuit and deepens Moët & Chandon’s F1 presence — the brand is already the series’ official champagne sponsor, a role it secured in 2025.

The details:

  • Moët & Chandon takes over after Qatar Airways served as title partner for the 2026 race.
  • Recent rotation: Heineken (2022), Rolex (2023-2024), Louis Vuitton (2025), Qatar Airways (2026).
  • The champagne house has deep Australian GP roots, appearing on the podium from 1985 to 1997.
  • Its Melbourne link goes back to 1888, when it first shipped to the city for the Centennial Exhibition.
  • Australian Grand Prix Corporation CEO Travis Auld: “Moët & Chandon has long been synonymous with excellence, celebration and unforgettable moments, making them the perfect partner.”
  • Moët & Chandon president Sibylle Scherer: “Melbourne holds a special place in our story. Australia is one of the world’s great Champagne markets.”

What's next:

The 2027 Australian Grand Prix will run April 1-4 as round three of the F1 season. Auld says the partnership will “set a new benchmark for luxury sporting experiences” at Albert Park. With F1’s regional popularity soaring, the deal gives both brands a high-profile stage to connect with a global audience.
