Formula 1 announced on Wednesday a one-year extension of the Dutch Grand Prix, which will keep it on the calendar through the 2026 season.
However, it was also announced that 2026 will be the final year the Dutch Grand Prix is on the calendar.
In the announcement, it was noted that “[a]fter much consideration and discussion, the decision has been taken by the promoter not to remain on the calendar after 2026.”
According to F1, the 2026 Dutch Grand Prix will also be the site of one of the season’s F1 Sprint Race, marking the first time in the sport’s history that Zandvoort will host an F1 Sprint Race.
“I am incredibly grateful for the work that the team at the Dutch Grand Prix have done in recent years. They raised the bar for European Grands Prix in terms of event spectacle and entertainment, supported the development of young talent by hosting F2, F3 and our F1 Academy series, and have also pioneered sustainable solutions that have inspired our events around the world as we drive towards being Net Zero by 2030,” said Stefano Domenicali the President and CEO of F1.
“All parties positively collaborated to find a solution to extend the race, with many options, including alternation or annual events on the table, and we respect the decision from the promoter to finish its amazing run in 2026,” added Domenicali. “I want to thank all the team at the Dutch Grand Prix and the Municipality of Zandvoort who have been fantastic partners to Formula 1.”
The 2025 Dutch Grand Prix is scheduled for August 29-31, 2025. Dates for the final Dutch Grand Prix in 2026 have yet to be announced.
