F1 Keeps Barcelona on Calendar Through 2032 in Rotation With Spa

Recent track upgrades alongside a 24‑race cap drove the decision.

Overview

  • The Montmeló race is rebranded as the Barcelona‑Catalunya Grand Prix after losing the Spanish GP title to Madrid.
  • Barcelona will host in 2026 (June 12–14), 2028, 2030 and 2032, while Spa‑Francorchamps runs in 2026, 2027, 2029 and 2031.
  • Madrid’s new Madring street circuit takes over the Spanish Grand Prix from 2026 under a deal running to 2035.
  • F1 cited investments at Barcelona—including a rooftop hospitality space and expanded solar panels—among the reasons for the extension.
  • The rotation results in two F1 rounds in Spain in 2028, 2030 and 2032 and, per Autosport, limits Spa’s chances of an annual slot.
