The Belgian Grand Prix has signed a new six-year deal with Formula 1, but will only be in the calendar in four out of those six seasons.

It was on the inaugural Formula 1 calendar in 1950, one of four races from that first season still run as an F1 event at its original track. On Wednesday, F1 announced that it has committed to keeping that tradition going through 2031,

F1 has agreed a new deal with the Belgian Grand Prix to hold races in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031; watch every race of the 2025 season live on Sky Sports F1, starting with the Australian GP from March 1

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.
