Everything you need to know about the 2026 Barcelona Grand Prix

Start your engines because the 2026 Formula One World Championship is just weeks away. Following an unforgettable 2025 season, we can’t wait to get straight back into the action – and you’re invited! 

Once again, we’ll be offering exclusive hospitality packages to every single Grand Prix around the world. Plus, this year we’re so excited to provide luxury experiences in the F1® Paddock Club. Enjoy hospitality like you’ve never seen it before at some of the most anticipated events, including the Barcelona Grand Prix. 

When is the Barcelona Grand Prix? 

By the time we jet off to Spain, the F1® season will be well underway. This year’s Barcelona Grand Prix takes place on Sunday 14^th June and as ever, we’re set for a full throttle weekend of racing action. The race takes place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya and is expected to be the final edition of the Barcelona event. 

This year’s Barcelona Grand Prix is the first of two races being held in Spain in the 2026 season. The Spanish Grand Prix is set to take place in Madrid in September, making it the first time two F1® races have been in Spain in the same season since 2012. 

Last time out, Oscar Piastri raced to glory, finishing ahead of McLaren teammate and eventual champion Lando Norris in second. The Australian’s triumph ended Max Verstappen’s run of three consecutive wins. In fact, 2025 was the first time that somebody other than Verstappen or Lewis Hamilton came out on top in 10 years. 

It was Piastri’s fifth Grand Prix win in the opening races and he looked to be in pole position to win his maiden title before Norris ultimately came out on top. Hamilton has triumphed at Barcelona six times in total, which is a record he shares with Michael Schumacher. The British legend last won it in 2021, his fifth on the spin. 

This year, Verstappen will be looking to reclaim his Barcelona title. He came 10^th last time in a day that summed up his disappointing season. The Red Bull maestro still managed to finish second in the standings but after four years of complete dominance, he fell way below his usual high standards.
