While the sample of confirmed exoplanets continues to grow, the population of transiting exoplanets around early-type stars is still limited. These planets allow us to investigate the planet properties and formation pathways over a wide range of stellar masses and study the impact of high irradiation on hot Jupiters orbiting such stars. We report the discovery of TOI-615b, TOI-622b, and TOI-2641b, three Saturn-mass planets transiting main sequence, F-type stars. The planets were identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and confirmed with complementary ground-based and radial velocity observations. TOI-615b is a highly irradiated (~1277F⊕) and bloated Saturn-mass planet ( and ) in a 4.66 day orbit transiting a 6850 K star. TOI-622b has a radius of and a mass of in a 6.40 day orbit. Despite its high insolation flux (~600F⊕), TOI-622b does not show any evidence of radius inflation. TOI-2641b is a planet in a 4.88 day orbit with a grazing transit () that results in a poorly constrained radius of . Additionally, TOI-615b is considered attractive for atmospheric studies via transmission spectroscopy with ground-based spectrographs and JWST. Future atmospheric and spin-orbit alignment observations are essential since they can provide information on the atmospheric composition, formation, and migration of exoplanets across various stellar types.
