How to Watch F1 Barcelona-Catalunya GP Race: Live Streaming and TV Channels
The 2026 Formula 1 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix takes place at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as Round 7 of the season, with championship momentum firmly on Kimi Antonelli's side.
The Mercedes driver arrives in Spain riding a five-race winning streak and holding a 66-point lead in the Drivers' Championship. Barcelona also offers a chance for several title contenders to bounce back after a dramatic Monaco Grand Prix, where Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, and Lando Norris retired while George Russell failed to score.
This weekend also marks a historic change for the circuit. With Madrid scheduled to host a new race later this year under the Spanish Grand Prix banner, Barcelona has been officially rebranded as the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix for the 2026 season.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch the 2026 Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix live.

Key Storylines Ahead of the Race
Off the track, FIA decisions remain under scrutiny. Following Pierre Gasly's successful Right of Review appeal after Monaco, Mercedes is reportedly evaluating similar options regarding George Russell's double penalty. The situation has become one of the most discussed topics in the paddock heading into the weekend.
Stewards were also active during Friday's practice. Cadillac got fined twice after both drivers, Sergio Perez and Valtteri Bottas, were caught for pit-lane speeding infringements, while Fernando Alonso received a warning after crossing the pit exit line during FP2.
The weather forecast could add another layer of intrigue, possibly causing a significant impact on strategy. Barcelona's abrasive surface has historically encouraged two-stop races, but teams may consider a one-stop approach if tire degradation proves lower than expected during the race.
With championship pressure building, regulatory controversies continuing to generate debate, and strategy likely to play a decisive role, the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix is shaping up to be one of the most important races of the season so far.
