F1 Race Contracts Revealed: How Long Will Each Track Remain?

The 2026 Formula 1 calendar locks in 24 grands prix, blending fixed long-term deals with selective rotation to manage congestion and market reach.

It sits within the broader 2026 contract expiry landscape, giving F1 leverage to rotate venues without diluting commercial security.

Mexico extends to 2028 despite Sergio Perez’s Red Bull exit, proving the event’s resilience beyond national-driver pull. Robust attendance and promoter backing underpin the deal.

Singapore’s night race remains contracted until 2028, preserving a distinctive high-reliability event in Asia.

Madrid’s street circuit holds the Spanish GP through 2035.

Monaco’s new deal arrives despite surrendering its traditional May slot, reflecting calendar flexibility over date prestige.

Among the longest deals, Bahrain runs to 2036, Las Vegas to 2037, and Austria’s Red Bull Ring outlasts all with a commitment to 2041.

The contract matrix blends heritage retention with expansion, using rotation to reduce strain while preserving market breadth and scheduling certainty for teams and promoters.
