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 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.

Formula One has announced a new six-year extension with the Belgian Grand Prix on a rotational basis. Doubts have surrounded the future of F1 at Spa, but the historic race, which started in 1925, will now return in four of the next season seasons.

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 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.

Formula One has announced that the Belgian Grand Prix will be rotated from next year as the sport's bosses move to introduce new races to the calendar.
