Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix

The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix (, ) is a scheduled Formula One motor racing event that will take place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It is the first out of two Grands Prix that are scheduled to take place in Spain in , along with the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring. The Grand Prix will then enter a rotational slot with the Belgian Grand Prix through 2032, where the event will be hosted in even-numbered years.

History

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was originally scheduled to be used as the venue for the Spanish Grand Prix until 2026. However, Spain's capital city, Madrid, was nominated as a new host of Formula One, with the Madring scheduled to make its debut in 2026 and therefore taking the Spanish Grand Prix name. As a result, the circuit's 2026 event was renamed to the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix. It will be the first time Spain hosts two Grand Prix since the season, the second of which was held under the name of the European Grand Prix at the Valencia Street Circuit.

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya signed a multi-year extension which would see the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix in the Formula One calendar in 2028, 2030, and 2032. Under the extension, the Grand Prix will rotate its slot with the Belgian Grand Prix, which (in addition to 2026) will be held in 2027, 2029, and 2031.
