Formula One’s global calendar is entering a period of unprecedented long‑term stability, with several circuits now tied to the championship well into the 2030s and even early 2040s.

The current portfolio of race contracts reveals a clear strategic direction from Formula One Management (FOM): securing long‑term commercial certainty, strengthening key markets, and balancing heritage venues with high‑value new additions.

The distribution of contract lengths also highlights which races are secure, which are at risk, and how the championship’s geographical footprint is likely to evolve over the next decade.

Only one venue currently has a contract expiring in 2026: Zandvoort (Netherlands).

The Dutch Grand Prix has been a commercial success thanks to Max Verstappen’s popularity, but its future beyond 2026 is not yet guaranteed. The circuit’s limited infrastructure and tight layout present challenges, even though fan demand remains extremely strong.

In 2027, only one race is scheduled to expire: Las Vegas.

Given the enormous investment F1 itself made in the Las Vegas event, a renewal is widely expected, but the short initial contract reflects the desire to evaluate the race’s long‑term viability.

A cluster of contracts ends between 2028 and 2031, covering both established and emerging venues. Singapore, Mexico City, and Portimão have contract signed until 2028.

Portimão’s situation is unique, as it holds individual contracts for 2027 and 2028 rather than a continuous multi‑year deal. Singapore and Mexico, both commercially strong events, are likely candidates for renewal.

Japan’s iconic circuit remains a cornerstone of the calendar, and its 2029 expiry gives Honda and F1 time to align future plans.

Jeddah, Abu Dhabi, Brazil, China and Baku have contracts until 2030.

This group includes several high‑value long‑term partners in the Middle East and Asia, alongside Brazil’s historic Interlagos circuit. Their simultaneous expiry will give F1 significant negotiating leverage.

Both Monza and Spa have secured medium‑term stability, though Spa will rotate with Barcelona from 2027 onward. Turkey’s inclusion reflects its occasional role as a flexible calendar option.

The mid‑2030s contain a dense cluster of long‑term deals, signalling F1’s confidence in these markets. Hungary, Qatar, and Barcelona have all contract secured until 2032.

Hungary’s long‑standing presence is reinforced by a contract that extends into the next decade. Qatar’s long‑term deal reflects the region’s strategic importance, while Barcelona’s future is secured through a rotational agreement with Spa, while the Circuit of the Americas (Austin) and Silverstone have contract until including 2034.

Both circuits have become essential pillars of the calendar. Austin anchors F1’s U.S. expansion, while Silverstone remains the spiritual home of the sport: Madrid, Canada and Monaco (2035).

Madrid’s arrival with a decade‑long contract underscores F1’s commitment to Spain, even as Barcelona remains part of the rotation. Canada and Monaco, two of the championship’s most iconic events, are secured deep into the future.

A handful of circuits have secured exceptionally long deals, extending well beyond the typical commercial cycle: Bahrain (2036), Australia (2037), Miami and Austria (2041).

Miami’s contract, stretching to 2041, is one of the longest in Formula One history and reflects Liberty Media’s determination to cement the U.S. market. Austria’s extension to the same year highlights Red Bull’s long‑term commitment to hosting a home race.

The current contract landscape shows that Formula One is prioritising long‑term commercial security while maintaining enough flexibility to rotate certain venues. Heritage circuits such as Monaco, Silverstone, and Suzuka remain central to the sport’s identity, while new‑generation events in the Middle East and the United States anchor F1’s commercial expansion.

At the same time, the presence of shorter contracts — particularly Zandvoort, Singapore, Mexico, and Suzuka — ensures that the calendar can evolve in response to shifting market conditions.
