F1 Extends Belgian Grand Prix Contract at Spa

Fans and drivers will get to experience the legendary Spa-Francorchamps circuit in 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031 as part of the deal.

The circuit through the Ardennes forest is one of the most popular and famous on the planet, with iconic corners like La Source, Eau Rouge, Blanchimont and the Bus Stop Chicane pushing a driver’s skills to the limit on every lap.

Having appeared on the very first F1 calendar in 1950, Spa has hosted 57 Grands Prix over the years – only Silverstone (59), Monaco (70), and Monza (74) have held more.

Our history with the track goes right back to the 1950s, when Juan Manuel Fangio triumphed on his way to the 1955 World Championship.

The team has five further successes in recent years, with Lewis Hamilton in 2015, 2017, 2020 and 2024 and Nico Rosberg in 2016.

This season’s Belgian Grand Prix will be round 13 of 2025 and will take place at the end of July.

For the second time – after 2023 – the event is set to hold the F1 Sprint weekend format.

On today’s announcement Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1, said: “The Belgian Grand Prix was one of the races that made up our maiden Championship in 1950, so as we kick off our 75th anniversary year it is fitting that we can share the news of this important extension.

“Spa-Francorchamps is rightly lauded by drivers and fans alike as one of the finest racetracks in the world and it has played host to some incredible moments over its many seasons in Formula 1.

“In recent years it has undergone significant work to improve the facility and overall fan experience, and I would like to pay tribute to the promoter and the Government of Wallonia for their dedication and passionate support for Formula 1 in Belgium.”
