With 24 grands prix on the 2026 Formula 1 calendar, the schedule has never been busier — or more geographically diverse. But behind every race is a contract, and those deals vary enormously in length and security. Some venues are locked in for the better part of two decades; others are already in their final year. Here is the full picture, ordered from the most precarious to the most protected.
Going, going, gone: The short-termers
The most immediately vulnerable race on the 2026 calendar is the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, which is hosting its final edition this year. A one-year extension agreed in late 2024 kept it alive through 2026 — making this the first Dutch GP to feature a sprint race — but the promoter chose not to pursue a longer arrangement. Zandvoort had been discussed as a candidate for F1’s rotating European race format, yet ultimately decided to bow out on its own terms. After 2026, Zandvoort leaves the calendar.
Next in line are the Portuguese Grand Prix (Portimão, two-year deal running 2027–2028, announced December 2025), the Mexican Grand Prix (secured through 2028 with a three-year extension confirmed in April 2025), and the Singapore Grand Prix, which has a deal through 2028 from its seven-year extension signed in 2022. Singapore’s night-race format remains unique on the calendar, which makes its mid-length contract somewhat surprising.
The Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka runs until 2029, courtesy of a five-year extension signed in 2024 — one of the cleaner, more straightforward renewals in recent years.

The mid-table deals and the rotation question
A cluster of races runs through to 2030: China (five-year deal from December 2024), Azerbaijan (four-year extension signed September 2025), Abu Dhabi (a ten-year extension locked in on the eve of the chaotic 2021 season finale), Brazil (November 2023 deal), and Saudi Arabia (the original 10-year agreement from 2021, potentially switching from Jeddah to the Qiddiya development at some unconfirmed future point).
Into the 2031–2032 window, the picture gets more complicated because of F1’s rotation model for European circuits. Spa-Francorchamps has a deal through 2031 but will sit out 2028 and 2030. Barcelona-Catalunya has secured its future through 2032, but only races in even-numbered years — 2026, 2028, 2030, 2032 — sharing calendar space with the new Madrid street circuit, which carries the Spanish Grand Prix name and makes its debut this year on a deal running to 2035.
The Turkish Grand Prix is another returnee: Istanbul Park rejoins in 2027 on a five-year deal, with a contract through 2031. The circuit was absent from the calendar for several years after its COVID-era appearances, and its comeback was confirmed only this year.
Monza (2031), Miami (2031, part of the original 10-year deal from the race’s 2022 launch), the Hungaroring (2032), and Qatar (2032, ten-year deal from its 2023 return) round out this group. The Hungaroring deal was tied to a commitment from the promoter to carry out significant circuit upgrades — progress on that work will be worth watching.
The long-haul agreements
At the top end of the security spectrum sit the races that have effectively taken themselves off the negotiating table for years or even decades. Silverstone announced a 10-year deal in February 2024, keeping the British Grand Prix at its historic home until 2034. Austin’s Circuit of the Americas, the oldest of F1’s three American venues, extended through 2034 with a deal signed in 2025.
Melbourne runs to 2035 after adding a 10-year extension on top of its existing contract back in 2022. Monaco — which had been navigating a more uncertain period after giving up its traditional late-May slot — extended its arrangement in September 2025 through to 2035. Montreal, which had been covered only to 2029 under its 2017 deal, also extended to 2035 in 2025.
The three longest deals belong to Bahrain (through 2036, 32 years after its inaugural race in 2004), Las Vegas (through 2037, after a ten-year extension confirmed in mid-2025 built on the original three-year launch deal), and — by a considerable distance — the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring, which has a deal stretching all the way to 2041, agreed during the 2025 race weekend. No other venue on the calendar comes close to that commitment.
With the Dutch Grand Prix departing after this season, the next contract conversation of note will be what replaces Zandvoort’s slot in the European rotation. F1 has signalled that rotation is the model going forward for the continent, and several circuits not currently on the calendar — including some with historical significance — have been linked with expressions of interest. The shape of the 2027 European swing, expected to be clarified before the end of this year, will be the next big scheduling story to watch.
