The Belgian Grand Prix will move to a rotational race slot on the F1 calendar as part of a new multi-year contract extension. 

The world famous Spa-Francorchamps circuit’s current contract was due to expire at the end of 2025 but it has secured its future for 2026 and beyond. It comes after several recent short-term deals. 

Belgium will become one of the new rotational rounds and be a fixture on the F1 calendar in four of the next six seasons. 

Spa will host an F1 race in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. 

Significant new investment has been put into the circuit in recent years, including the addition of two new grandstands which have increased capacity by 10,000. 

It is currently unclear which other races will get rotational spots but these are widely expected to be other European events. 

This is in line with F1’s aim to bring the sport to as many markets as possible while retaining many of the world championship’s historic and traditional races. 

The F1 calendar already features a gruelling 24 races, the current limit under the existing Concorde agreement. 

F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali recently hinted that rotational races will become part of the sport’s calendar in the coming years.
