Formula 1 Adopts Rotational Schedule for Belgian Grand Prix Through 2031

Spa-Francorchamps will host races in alternating years, reflecting F1's push for global expansion and packed calendar management.

The Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps will be held on a rotational basis in 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031 under a new six-year contract extension.
This marks the first time Formula 1 has implemented a rotational schedule for a race since the German Grand Prix alternated venues between 2008 and 2014.
The decision aligns with Formula 1's strategy to accommodate new markets, with potential additions including races in Africa, Asia, and South America.
Spa's alternating schedule is partly attributed to its lower hosting fees compared to wealthier cities like Madrid, which is set to join the calendar in 2026.
The move highlights Formula 1's shift away from its traditional European stronghold toward global expansion, with other historic venues like Imola and Zandvoort facing uncertain futures.
