Duration of Contracts for Each Formula 1 Grand Prix Venue

Formula 1’s calendar is built on a complex web of long‑term agreements with circuits around the globe, and as the sport looks beyond the 2026 season it already has a clear picture of which tracks will remain on the schedule and for how long. Below is a comprehensive overview of the current contracts, extensions and future arrangements that determine the lifespan of each Grand Prix venue. **2027 and Beyond – New and Returning Races** The Turkish Grand Prix and the Portuguese Grand Prix are slated to re‑join the calendar in 2027 after multi‑year deals were signed earlier this decade.

Turkey’s Istanbul Park secured a five‑year agreement that will keep it on the timetable until at least 2031, while Portugal’s Algarve circuit at Portimão signed a two‑year contract covering the 2027 and 2028 seasons, extending its presence after the pandemic‑forced appearances in 2020 and 2021. **Tracks Leaving the Calendar** Not every venue will continue indefinitely. The Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which returned in 2021, will lose its slot after the 2026 season, ending a short but popular stint.

Conversely, several circuits have reinforced their status with lengthy extensions. **Recent Extensions and Their Lengths** - **Las Vegas** entered the F1 family in 2023 and, in mid‑2025, organisers announced a new deal that pushes the event’s contract out to the end of 2027, guaranteeing at least three more editions in the neon‑lit desert. - **Mexico City** faced uncertainty when Sergio Pérez’s seat disappeared for 2025, coinciding with the expiry of the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez agreement. However, in April 2025 the Mexican federation and Formula 1 reached a fresh three‑year pact, securing the race through 2027.

- **Singapore** has been a night‑race staple since 2008. A seven‑year extension signed in 2022 will keep the Marina Bay circuit on the calendar until at least 2028, ensuring the iconic lights continue to illuminate the sport.

- **Suzuka** in Japan, a driver favourite, received a five‑year extension in 2024, meaning the circuit will host races through 2029. - **Yas Marina** in Abu Dhabi signed a decade‑long contract in 2021 that runs until the start of the 2030s, cementing its role as the season‑closing venue.

- **Baku** (Azerbaijan) joined in 2016 and, in 2025, secured a four‑year extension that pushes its commitment to the end of 2029. - **Shanghai** returned after a pandemic‑induced hiatus and, ahead of the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix, locked in a five‑year agreement that will see the street circuit run at least until 2029. - **São Paulo (Interlagos)**, now officially the Brazilian Grand Prix, obtained a five‑year extension in 2023, extending its contract to 2030.

- **Saudi Arabia** originally signed a ten‑year deal for the Jeddah Corniche Circuit starting in 2021, guaranteeing races until the early 2030s. A new venue in Qiddiya is under construction and could host events as early as 2028, but the existing Saudi Arabian Grand Prix contract already runs through the next decade. - **Spa‑Francorchamps** will enter a rotational arrangement with Barcelona beginning in 2027, meaning Belgium will host the Grand Prix in odd‑numbered years up to at least 2031.

- **Monza** dispelled any doubts in November 2024 by agreeing to a six‑year extension, securing the Italian Grand Prix until 2030. - **Hungaroring** in Budapest, a fixture since 1986, signed a five‑year extension in 2023 that will keep the race on the calendar through 2032.

- **Qatar** signed a ten‑year deal when the Lusail International Circuit debuted in 2021; despite a one‑year pause for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, the agreement remains in force until the early 2030s. - **Barcelona‑Catalunya** will share its slot with Belgium, hosting races in even‑numbered years until 2032.

- **Madrid** will host its inaugural Spanish Grand Prix in September 2026 under a nine‑year street‑race agreement, covering the capital’s presence on the calendar until 2035. - **Monaco** secured an additional extension in 2025 on top of its existing deal that runs to 2031, ensuring the principality’s glamorous street circuit will continue at least until 2035. - **Bahrain International Circuit** first appeared on the schedule in 2004; a 2022 announcement extended its contract to 2036, providing a long‑term home for the desert race.

- **Red Bull Ring (Austria)** was granted a 16‑year continuation at the 2025 Austrian Grand Prix, meaning the venue will be on the calendar well into the 2040s. - **Miami International Autodrome** received a ten‑year extension ahead of the 2025 Miami Grand Prix, supplementing its current deal that runs until 2031 and securing the U.S.

East Coast event for the next decade. **Summary of Contract Durations** In total, Formula 1 now has confirmed agreements with 25 circuits that extend beyond the 2026 season.

As the 2026 season approaches, the confirmed lineup promises a blend of historic circuits, modern street races, and emerging locations, all underpinned by multi‑year agreements that provide stability and excitement for teams, drivers, and supporters worldwide.
