When do F1 circuit contracts expire? The risk for Imola and more

Yesterday at 08:19 AM

After much uncertainty and criticism, Spa-Francorchamps has secured its renewal to remain on the F1 calendar, albeit with a significant twist. Here’s a detailed and updated overview of the status and expiration dates of the contracts between circuits and F1.

Spa has been renewed on a rotational basis. The historic Belgian circuit will feature on the calendar until 2031, but only during the 2026, 2027, 2029, and 2031 seasons. This decision hints at the possibility that several circuits could be used on a rotational basis in the official calendar of the premier motorsport category.

F1 circuit contracts and expiration dates
As of now, the two circuits with the most imminent contract expirations are Imola and Mexico. These two circuits have contracts ending in 2025, meaning they could disappear from the calendar as early as next year without a renewal.

Imola’s situation is unique, as there is the possibility of recovering the race that was canceled in 2023 due to the devastating floods in Emilia-Romagna. This could allow Imola to feature on the calendar in 2026, although the chances currently remain uncertain.
