Formula 1 to Race in Canada Through 2035

The Canadian Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2035, Formula 1 announced on Tuesday, two days after George Russell won this year’s event at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve.

The Canadian Grand Prix will race into its seventh decade following a four-year agreement. As part of a push to limit intercontinental travel, the 2026 Canadian Grand Prix moves forward from June to May 24 so that it follows the Miami Grand Prix, which also means a potential clash with the Indianapolis 500.

The Canadian Grand Prix is the oldest Formula 1 race held outside Europe, with last week’s event marking the 54th edition since its inaugural running in 1967. Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, named after the legendary Canadian driver, became the permanent host in 1978.

“As Formula 1 celebrates its 75th anniversary, it is fitting that we have announced an extension with the Canadian Grand Prix, a race that has such incredible history in our sport and is named after a true legend in Gilles Villeneuve,” said Stefano Domenicali, president and chief executive officer of Formula 1. “Montréal is an incredible city, full of energy and passionate fans and I am delighted to confirm that we will continue racing here through to the 2035 season.”

Formula 1 has been making a series of long-term commitments to various destinations. The Las Vegas Grand Prix will remain on the Formula 1 calendar through at least 2027, executives announced over the weekend, while the Miami Grand Prix will remain on the calendar through 2041, following a 10-year extension to its existing agreement.

The Belgian Grand Prix will stay on the Formula 1 calendar for four of the next six seasons after a contract extension was agreed that will see the circuit in Spa dropped in 2028 and 2030, allowing either older circuits that have not hosted races or new markets to be added to the calendar.

The Chinese Grand Prix will stay on the Formula 1 calendar until at least 2030 in a contract extension at the Shanghai International Circuit and F1 will race at the beachside track at Zandvoort in the Netherlands for two more years before the Dutch Grand Prix falls off the calendar after 2026. The Italian Grand Prix will remain on the calendar until 2031 as part of a six-year extension to the existing agreement at Monza while the Monaco Grand Prix will stay on the schedule at least through 2031 as the grand prix will be contested on the first full weekend in June.
