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.

Formula 1 has announced an extension for the Belgian Grand Prix that will see the event remain on the sports calendar on a rotational basis until at least 2031.

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.

The deal means the fixture at Spa-Francorchamps – which is among the most recognisable in F1 – will be omitted from the schedule in 2028 and 2030.
