The Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix (Spanish: Gran Premio de Barcelona-Cataluña, Catalan: Gran Premi de Barcelona-Catalunya) is a Formula One motor racing event held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. It was first held in 2026 as the first of two Grands Prix in Spain that season, along with the Spanish Grand Prix at the Madring. The Grand Prix is scheduled to enter a rotational slot with the Belgian Grand Prix through 2032, with the event being held 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.[1] 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.[2][3] As a result, the circuit's 2026 event was renamed to the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix.[4] The 2026 season marked the first time that Spain hosted two Grands Prix since the 2012 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 to keep the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix on 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.[5]
