F1 to run final Dutch GP in 2026 after 1-yr extension confirmed

Formula 1 and the Dutch Grand Prix promoter have announced a one-year contract extension which will see Circuit Zandvoort remain on the Formula 1 calendar through the 2026 season. After much consideration and discussion, the decision has been taken by the promoter not to remain on the calendar after 2026.

The past few years have seen some great action in the Dutch Grand Prix after the sport’s long break from racing in the Netherlands.

The event has become known for its fan experience, with Dutch fans and international visitors alike gathering to watch the excitement of Formula 1, Formula 2, Formula 3, F1 ACADEMY and more, battling around the iconic banked corners of the circuit.

It has also established itself as a leading sustainable sporting event, pioneering technologies that are now used across the Formula 1 calendar.

The return of the Dutch Grand Prix in 2021 coincided with a period of dominance for local hero Max Verstappen, who has won the race three times, and been crowned world champion in each of the four years the event has run to date.

In 2025, the event will take place from August 29 to 31. The date for the final event in 2026, which will include a Sprint for the first time at the Dutch Grand Prix, will be announced next year. Ticket sales for the 2025 race are already underway, with information about tickets for the final event in 2026 to follow.
