The calendar is at 21 for this campaign, and the increase to 22 represents a direction Formula One bosses had hinted they were heading in.
There has been talk of a 24-race calendar in the coming years, although that is likely to be opposed by teams. There are worries over resources and risking the sport's exclusivity.
Teams had to give their permission to extend next year's calendar beyond 21 races, as that is defined as the maximum in the sport's rules.
Beyond next year though the regulations have not yet been defined.
The 2020 season is the 70th anniversary year of Formula One, with seven back-to-back weekends of racing in all across the eight months.
The 2019 Grand Prix returns in Belgium this weekend, with Lewis Hamilton closing in on a sixth drivers' title.
