Racing returned to the Red Bull Ring in June 2014, and will remain at the circuit until at least 2027 under the new deal.

Eleven Grands Prix have so far been staged at the circuit, including two races in both 2020 and 2021.

“The Austrian Grand Prix brings together the perfect mix of a challenging track, high-speed racing, and a beautiful venue for our fans, so I am delighted that we will be coming back to the Red Bull Ring until at least 2027 under this new agreement,” said Stefano Domenicali, President and CEO of Formula 1

"As we celebrate the 10th year since our return to Spielberg, I would like to thank everyone involved in this renewal, especially the promoter and Red Bull and I want to pay tribute to Dietrich Mateschitz for the love, passion, and vision he brought to Formula 1 that has ensured the continued success of the event and the huge enthusiasm for our sport in Austria and around the world.”

The 2023 Austrian Grand Prix will take place June 30 - July 2.
