The Belgian Grand Prix will appear on the F1 calendar for four of the next six seasons after 2025, taking place in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031. It marks a first step from F1 to introduce circuit rotation to its calendar amid sizable demand from countries around the world to host a grand prix.

By alternating Spa — and probably removing it from the calendar entirely — F1 intends to use its spot to rake in more cash from richer locales. The current front-runner to backfill Spa? Madrid, a city willing to pay F1 $52M per year for the privilege.

The deal means the fixture at Spa-Francorchamps – which is among the most recognisable in F1 – will be omitted from the schedule in 2028 and 2030.
