Belgian Grand Prix Secures Spot in F1 Until 2031

The Belgian Grand Prix will remain part of the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2031 through a new multi-year rotational agreement. Under this arrangement, the race will take place at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031, while it will not be held in 2028 and 2030, marking a significant shift in its scheduling. This decision was made amid the growing need to accommodate new circuits wishing to join the expanded 24-race calendar and to ensure financial stability for Spa, which has seen recent upgrades, including brand new grandstands.

This agreement reflects the historic significance of the Belgian Grand Prix, which has been a cornerstone of the F1 championship since its inception in 1950. F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali highlighted the venue's contribution to the sport's legacy, while local authorities are optimistic about the economic benefits it will bring to the Wallonia region. As the sport continues to evolve and explore lucrative global markets, the rotational format will allow both Belgium and other emerging venues to share the spotlight in the competitive landscape of Formula 1 racing.
