TV Schedule for the 2026 Spanish F1 Grand Prix
- Published on 11/09/2026 12:18
Meeting in Madrid from September 11 to 13 for the fourteenth round of the 2026 F1 season.
This weekend, F1 will explore the Madring with a new layout that promises to shake up the habits of drivers and teams. After the long straights of Monza, it’s time for the unknown.
The Spanish Grand Prix will inaugurate the Madring, located around the IFEMA exhibition center and the Valdebebas district. While this circuit is hosting its first global event, the Madrid region revisits a discipline it had previously hosted at Jarama, until 1981. This new stage concludes the European tour of the championship.
The main attraction has a name: “La Monumental”. This turn of about 550 meters, with a rise of 24%, should provide spectacular images and challenge drivers, cars, and tires. But the Madrid challenge goes beyond this single curve. Heavy braking, rapid sequences, close walls, and changes in elevation create a demanding lap. An 8% climb leads into a blind corner, followed by a descent that will further complicate finding the right references.
In these conditions, the three free practice sessions will take on particular importance. Teams will need to compare their simulations to reality, understand the evolution of grip, and adjust their aerodynamic compromises. For drivers, it will be essential to build confidence without exceeding the limits too early. The ability to adapt could weigh as much as the intrinsic performance of the cars.
The weekend will follow a traditional format, without a Sprint in F1, with qualifying on Saturday and the Grand Prix on Sunday. However, the supporting categories will significantly enrich the lineup.
Formula 2 will hold its usual two races. Formula 3 will conclude its season with an exceptional schedule of three events, spread over Saturday and Sunday. This will multiply the opportunities to score points and prolong the suspense around the title on a track that is still new to everyone.
