The championship will have the same 18 events it had in 2016, with the season again kicking off in Qatar on March 28.
As it has been the case since 2002, the final round of the series will be held at the Ricardo Tormo circuit in Valencia, on November 12.
The only significant change compared to this year's schedule is the Czech Grand Prix at Brno taking place earlier than in 2016.
The gap between the races in Argentina and the United States has been increased from one to two weeks.
The Malaysian and British Grand Prix are marked as provisional pending contract talks.
