F1 race contracts: How long each circuit will stay on the calendar
As F1 expands globally, the future of each grand prix depends on complex, evolving contracts between race promoters and commercial rights holders, with some circuits secured long-term and others facing uncertainty

The Formula 1 calendar is increasingly locked in for years – and in some cases decades – as circuits sign long-term deals to host races.
Historic tracks, such as Monza, Silverstone and Monaco, have secured their places well into the 2030s, while newer venues including Miami and Austria are contracted beyond 2040. Las Vegas has also secured a long-term future, with its latest agreement running through 2037.
But the calendar continues to evolve. Zandvoort has staged its final Dutch Grand Prix, Madrid has made its debut, and Portugal and Turkey are preparing to return in 2027.
Formula 1 has also announced a 10-year agreement to bring the African Grand Prix to Rwanda in the early 2030s, although its inaugural season has not yet been confirmed.
Behind these changes lies a complex web of contracts between race promoters and commercial rights holders.
Here we explore the current contractual situation of every grand prix.
Australian GP – 2035

Melbourne became the home of the Australian Grand Prix in 1996, replacing Adelaide, which had hosted the race for a decade.
The event secured a 10-year contract extension in 2022, keeping Melbourne on the calendar until at least 2035.
Melbourne didn’t host an F1 race in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Chinese GP – 2030

China was also absent from the Formula 1 calendar from 2020 to 2023 due to the pandemic, but finally made a return last year.
Celebrating its comeback, the Shanghai International Circuit secured a new, five-year extension at the end of 2024, meaning the race is safe until at least 2030.
Japanese GP – 2029

Japan was another country that secured a new deal with Formula 1 last year.
The country also signed a five-year extension that secured its place on the calendar until at least 2029.
Bahrain GP – 2036

Bahrain has one of the longest contracts of any race on the current calendar, having signed a new deal in 2022.
The country is set to host an F1 race until at least 2036. The 2026 Bahrain Grand Prix was staged at Sepang in Malaysia, an exceptional change of venue that does not alter Bahrain’s long-term contract.
Saudi Arabian GP – 2030

One of the latest events to enter the Formula 1 calendar (2022), Saudi Arabia has a contract until 2030.
The race has been held at the Jeddah circuit, but it is expected to switch to the Qiddiya complex in the future, although there is no date for the move yet.
Miami GP – 2041

Miami joined the F1 calendar on the same year as Saudi Arabia, 2022, and had a 10-year contract that extended until 2031. That was renewed in 2025 for another 10 years, making it the race with the longest contract, until 2041.
Spanish GP – 2035

The Spanish Grand Prix moved to Madrid in 2026, ending Barcelona‘s run as the event’s host since 1991.
Madrid’s new circuit made its debut in September, and the agreement with Formula 1 runs through 2035.
Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix – 2032

The Spanish venue secured a new contract until 2032 despite losing the Spanish GP moniker to Madrid from 2026.
Barcelona will be part of the rotating system F1 is set to use in the future, hosting a race in 2028, 2030 and 2032.
The event will be known as the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.
Monaco GP – 2035

Formula 1’s most iconic race signed a new contract in 2024 and then another one in 2025, securing its presence on the calendar until 2035.
Canadian GP – 2035

Montreal landed a new deal in 2017 to stay on the calendar until at least 2029, then extended it until 2035.
Austrian GP – 2041

In 2025, F1 announced a decade-long extension to host the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring — extending the existing 20230 deal to 2041. The circuit said that the commitment would bring further investment in infrastructure.
British GP – 2034

Another venue to secure a new contract in 2024, the British GP has a safe place on the calendar until 2034, having signed a 10-year agreement.
Belgian GP – 2031

Spa was the first race to join Formula 1’s rotation plan, signing a deal until 2031, but not hosting a race in either 2028 or 2030.
Belgium will be alternating with Barcelona, which will host the race in 2028, 2030 and 2032.
Hungarian GP – 2032
In 2023, Formula 1 agreed a five-year contract extension to keep the Hungarian Grand Prix on the calendar until 2032.
The deal was agreed after the Hungaroring committed to upgrading its facilities, including a new pit building and main grandstand.
Turkish GP – 2031

Istanbul Park will return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2027, taking the slot vacated by Zandvoort, as organisers confirmed the revival of a race that last featured in 2021 – bringing back one of the sport’s most celebrated corners in Turn 8.
Portuguese GP – 2028

Portugal secured its return to the Formula 1 calendar in 2027 by agreeing a two-year deal that will see Portimao make a comeback after hosting its last event in 2021.
Italian GP – 2031
Having secured a six-year contract extension last year, Monza will remain on the calendar until at least 2031.
Azerbaijan GP – 2030

Azerbaijan signed a three-year deal in 2023 and was scheduled to host an F1 race until 2026, before extending its contract for another five years, until 2030.
Singapore GP – 2028

Singapore has its place secure on the calendar until 2028, having agreed a new seven-year deal in 2022.
United States GP – 2034

The Circuit of the Americas was one of the races without a contract beyond 2026, but a new deal signed in 2025 means the Austin venue will stay on the calendar for almost another decade.
Mexican GP – 2028

At the time of writing, Mexico is the latest venue to have secured a new F1 deal. The Mexico City event has extended his contract until 2028.
Brazilian GP – 2030

Brazil signed a new contract in 2023, extending its stay on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2030.
Las Vegas GP – 2037

Las Vegas joined the calendar in 2023 and has secured a long-term future after agreeing a further 10-year extension in June 2026.
The race will remain on the calendar through 2037.
Qatar GP – 2032

Qatar joined the F1 calendar in 2021 on a 10-year deal that was paused in 2022 because of the World Cup, but is scheduled to remain there until 2032.
Abu Dhabi GP – 2030

The traditional season finale has a contract until 2030, having agreed a new deal in 2021.
African GP – Early 2040s

Formula 1 announced a 10-year agreement in October 2026 to bring the African Grand Prix to Rwanda in the early 2030s.
The race will take place on a new purpose-built circuit in Bugesera, near the capital Kigali, once construction is complete.
The first season has not yet been confirmed. The event will mark Formula 1’s return to Africa for the first time since the 1993 South African Grand Prix.
