The Belgian Grand Prix secures a new contract that will keep it on the Formula 1 calendar for four out of six years from 2026-2031.

The Belgian Grand Prix will appear on the F1 calendar for four of the next six seasons after 2025, taking place in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. It marks a first step from F1 to introduce circuit rotation to its calendar amid sizable demand from countries around the world to host a grand prix.

F1 organizers announced on Wednesday that the Belgian race will run on a biennial basis starting from 2027. The latest contract extension, which was just signed, runs through 2031 and includes races in 2025, 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031.

The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps will drop off the Formula One calendar in 2028 and 2030 as part of a contract extension announced on Wednesday to host four races in the six years to 2031.

The Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps has been given a new deal to stay on the Formula 1 schedule but will become one of the venues in rotation. Spa has been a favourite of both drivers and fans for decades but it will now be absent from the calendar in 2028 and 2030 as F1 places more tracks in rotation.
