1997 FIA GT Championship

The season began on 13 April 1997 and ended on 26 October 1997 after 11 rounds, visiting Europe, Japan, and the United States.

The Nürburgring, Spa, Silverstone, and Suzuka's endurance event were all retained, but much of the European calendar was new to the series.

Donington Park replaced Brands Hatch as the second British round, while Hockenheimring was added as a second German event.

A street circuit in Helsinki was unique to the calendar, and served as the first race of a shorter three-hour duration.

Two American events of a three-hour duration replaced the former season-ending fly-away race in China, visiting Sebring and Laguna Seca.
