Miami and Austin Retain Formula 1 Sprint Races as Belgium Joins the Lineup in 2025

Miami and Austin will continue to host Formula 1 sprint races next year, while Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps track will replace Austria. This keeps the total number of sprint races at six for the third consecutive year. Other 2025 sprint races will occur in Brazil, China, and Qatar. F1 also adjusted its weekend schedule to move sprint races to earlier Saturdays.

Miami and Austin, Texas, will retain their Formula 1 sprint races next year, while Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps track steps in for Austria.

For the third consecutive year, the number of sprint races on the 24-event F1 calendar remains at six. The Circuit of the Americas in Austin and the Miami street circuit are joined by Belgium's Spa-Francorchamps track, which is the only 2025 sprint venue that did not host a sprint this year, although it had one in 2023.

This marks the third year of a sprint race for Austin and the second for Miami. The other three sprint events for 2025 will be in Brazil for the fifth year running, as well as China and Qatar.

F1 has reshuffled its weekend schedule for the upcoming season, moving the sprint races to earlier Saturdays, ahead of qualifying for the main grand prix.
