For the first time in three months, Formula 1 has back-to-back race weekends. The seventh stop on the 2026 schedule is a familiar venue with an unfamiliar name.
The Circuit de Catalunya hosts the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, a new name for what is now one of two Spanish rounds on the calendar. The Spanish Grand Prix will take place at the new Madring at the end of the ‘European season’ in September.
As usual, Formula 2 and Formula 3 will join the support bill. Here’s how to watch the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix live in the UK:
