Belgian Grand Prix

Sunday December 6 2026

Spa-Francorchamps is one of the most respected circuits on the Formula 1 calendar. The layout combines long straights with fast, technically demanding corners, and the track runs through the Ardennes forest in southern Belgium. The most well-known section is Eau Rouge and Raidillon, a sweeping uphill sequence that has defined the circuit's reputation. It is one of the most discussed corners in Formula 1, and seeing it in person gives you a clear sense of why drivers talk about it the way they do. For many Formula 1 fans, Spa is near the top of the list of races to attend.

Where is the Belgian Grand Prix held?

The Belgian Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, in the Ardennes forest of eastern Belgium, around 130 km southeast of Brussels and around 50 km south of Liège.

Why go to the Belgian Grand Prix?

Spa-Francorchamps is widely regarded as one of the greatest circuits in the world. The 7 km lap, the longest on the Formula 1 calendar, runs through the forested hills of the Ardennes, with significant elevation changes and a sequence of fast, flowing corners. Eau Rouge and Raidillon, the uphill left-right combination at the start of the lap, is one of the most famous corners in motorsport.

What to expect over three days

Plan for three full days, Friday to Sunday, to see every Formula 1 session and the support races. Friday is practice. Saturday is final practice and qualifying. Sunday is the Grand Prix.

What makes the Belgian Grand Prix special?

The circuit, the setting, and the weather. Spa-Francorchamps is the longest, fastest, and arguably the most demanding lap on the calendar, set in a natural valley in the Ardennes forest. The local microclimate is famously unpredictable: rain in one part of the circuit and dry tarmac in another is a regular feature of race weekend, and has shaped some of the most memorable Belgian Grands Prix in Formula 1 history.
