Formule 1 announces multi-year extension with the Belgian Grand Prix

Published on 08 January 2025 by Niels Hendrix

Formula 1 has agreed a multi-year extension with the Belgian Grand Prix that will see the sport race at the iconic Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in four of the next six years. The extension, which includes Grands Prix in the 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031 seasons, follows significant investment at the circuit in recent years, including the addition of two new grandstands – increasing capacity by 10,000 – and enhancement of the off-track entertainment and fan experience. Last year, the Belgian Grand Prix welcomed 380,000 fans across the race weekend in a gripping three days of action.

Built in 1921, Spa-Francorchamps was one of just seven circuits to be part of Formula 1’s maiden championship in 1950 and has since hosted 57 Grands Prix. The Wallonian circuit is celebrated by fans and drivers alike for its mixture of long straights and challenging fast corners, including one of the most famous sections of racetrack in the world as drivers power through Eau Rouge and Raidillon, then on to the Kemmel straight. Spanning 7.004km, it is the longest circuit on the Formula 1 calendar.

This season the Belgian Grand Prix 2025 will take place on 25-27 July and will see the return of the F1 Sprint to the track, providing fans with even more great racing entertainment across all three days of the race weekend.

Of course, the Orange Army will be visiting Spa-Francorchamps again on the Max Verstappen Grandstand, for which ticket sales have already kicked-off via https://www.verstappen.com/tickets/belgian-gp
