The government of Catalonia has given the go-ahead for Spanish Grand Prix organisers to agree a contract extension with Formula One for 2021.
The May 9 race at Barcelona's Circuit de Catalunya is listed as subject to contract on the sport's record 23-round provisional calendar.
The regional government said in a statement it had authorised Circuits de Catalunya SL to sign the renewal.
"The signature guarantees the celebration of the 31st consecutive edition of this event at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya," it said.
"The F1 Grand Prix is ??an asset that contributes to Catalonia’s position in the world in the fields of tourism and automotive."
The circuit agreed last year an extension to cover this year's race, which was held in August and without spectators due to the COVID-19 pandemic, after fears it would drop off the calendar.
