The Dutch Grand Prix has been held at Circuit Zandvoort, North Holland, Netherlands, from 1950 to 1985 and from 2021 onwards. It was a part of the World Championship from 1952, and designated the European Grand Prix twice, in 1962 and 1976, when this title was an honorary designation given each year to one Grand Prix race in Europe. This is the 34th time that the Dutch GP is taking place as an F1 event.

The Dutch GP will take place at Circuit Zandvoort, a 4.259 km motor sport race track in the dunes north of Zandvoort, Netherlands, near the North Sea coastline. It returned to the Formula One calendar in 2021 as the location of the revived Dutch Grand Prix. It is an FIA Grade 1 licensed circuit which supports a total crowd capacity of 1,05,000.
