Formula One has secured agreements with 25 circuits that extend beyond the 2026 season, meaning the line‑up for the 2027 calendar is already largely set. Recent announcements that the Turkish and Portuguese Grands Prix will re‑join the schedule from 2027 give us a chance to review how long each venue is contracted to stay on the sport's timetable. The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort will disappear from the calendar after 2026, ending the brief return that began in 2021. By contrast, Las Vegas, which debuted on the F1 map in 2023, signed a fresh agreement in mid‑2025 that guarantees races there at least through the end of 2027, giving the neon‑lit street circuit a short‑term but solid foothold.
Mexico City’s Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez faced uncertainty when Sergio Pérez lost his seat for 2025, the same year its original contract was set to expire. Nevertheless, in April 2025 the circuit and the governing body reached a new three‑year deal, extending the Mexican Grand Prix to 2027. Portugal’s Algarve International Circuit at Portimão will return in 2027 after signing a two‑year commitment for the Portuguese Grand Prix. The venue previously hosted the race during the pandemic‑affected 2020 and 2021 seasons, and the new deal restores its place on the calendar for at least two more years.
Outside of pandemic‑related disruptions, Singapore has been a mainstay since 2008. A seven‑year extension signed in 2022 ensures the iconic night race will continue until at least 2028, preserving the unique glow of Marina Bay for several more seasons. Suzuka, one of the most beloved circuits among drivers, secured a five‑year extension in 2024, meaning the Japanese Grand Prix will be on the schedule through 2029.
Similarly, Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina Circuit locked in a decade‑long contract in 2021, guaranteeing the season‑closing race will remain there until the early 2030s. Baku, which entered the F1 family in 2016, saw its original agreement run out in 2026. Organisers promptly signed a four‑year extension in 2025, extending the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to 2029. Shanghai, after a five‑year hiatus caused by COVID‑19, signed a fresh five‑year pact ahead of the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix, ensuring the race will be held at the Shanghai International Circuit through 2029.
Brazil’s Interlagos circuit, now officially titled the São Paulo Grand Prix, received a five‑year extension in 2023 that pushes its contract to 2030, keeping the South American classic on the calendar for the foreseeable future. Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Corniche Circuit was granted a ten‑year contract when it first joined the series in 2021. Although a brand‑new circuit in Qiddiya is under construction and could host a race as early as 2028, the existing Saudi Arabian Grand Prix contract runs until the start of the next decade, providing stability while the new venue is readied.
From 2027 onward, Belgium’s Spa‑Francorchamps will enter a rotational arrangement with Spain’s Circuit de Barcelona‑Catalunya. Under this plan, the Belgian Grand Prix will be contested in odd‑numbered years up to at least 2031, while Barcelona will host in even‑numbered years. Monza, the historic home of the Italian Grand Prix, dispelled any doubts about its future in November 2024 by signing a six‑year extension, securing races there through 2030. The Turkish Grand Prix will make its comeback in 2027 after a six‑year absence.
A five‑year deal has been struck that keeps Istanbul Park on the calendar until at least 2031, re‑establishing the Turkish round as a regular fixture. Budapest’s Hungaroring, a continuous presence since 1986, signed a five‑year extension in 2023 that pushes its contract out to 2032, ensuring the Hungarian Grand Prix remains a staple of the schedule. Qatar’s Lusail International Circuit, which debuted in 2021, also signed a ten‑year agreement, mirroring Saudi Arabia’s long‑term commitment.
The contract includes a one‑year pause in 2022 due to the FIFA World Cup, but otherwise guarantees the Qatar Grand Prix through the early 2030s. Silverstone, the birthplace of the World Championship in 1950, secured a new ten‑year deal in 2024, meaning the British Grand Prix will be staged there at least until 2034. In the United States, the Circuit of the Americas in Austin announced in 2025 that it will host the United States Grand Prix through 2034, extending its presence beyond the previous agreement. Australia’s Albert Park in Melbourne added a ten‑year extension to its existing contract, which originally ended in 2025.
The deal ensures Melbourne will host at least five season‑opening races between 2025 and 2035, reinforcing its role as the traditional start of the F1 year. Canada’s Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal confirmed in 2025 that it will continue to stage the Canadian Grand Prix for another decade, taking the contract out to 2035.
Madrid will host its inaugural F1 event in September 2026 as part of a nine‑year agreement to stage the Spanish Grand Prix on the capital’s streets, marking a new chapter for the series in Spain’s capital city. Monaco’s legendary street circuit will remain on the calendar until at least 2035, following a 2025 extension that builds on an existing deal set to expire in 2031.
The Principality’s race continues to be one of the most prestigious events in the sport. Bahrain, which first welcomed F1 in 2004, announced in 2022 that the Bahrain International Circuit will host races through 2036, providing a long‑term home for the Middle Eastern round. The Red Bull Ring in Austria was granted a substantial 16‑year extension at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, ensuring the Austrian race will be part of the schedule well into the 2040s. Miami’s street circuit secured a ten‑year extension in 2025, on top of its existing deal that runs until 2031, guaranteeing the Miami Grand Prix will be a regular feature through at least 2041.
In summary, the majority of the F1 calendar is underpinned by multi‑year contracts that range from short‑term two‑year extensions to decade‑long agreements. These contracts provide stability for teams, sponsors, and fans alike, while also allowing the sport to plan long‑term logistics, marketing, and development initiatives. The rotational arrangements, such as those between Spa‑Francorchamps and Barcelona, illustrate Formula One’s flexible approach to balancing historic venues with emerging markets, ensuring a diverse and globally appealing race programme for years to come.
