Watch the debut 2026 Madrid Grand Prix at the new IFEMA street circuit, with grandstand or Paddock Club tickets, flights, hotels and Spain extensions from India.
From the IFEMA grandstand at the debut street circuit to a Paddock Club table and a tapas-fuelled Madrid extension, here is how we put you trackside.
Reserved seats inside the IFEMA exhibition complex section, where the 5.474 km layout blends permanent track with street segments around the convention halls. The debut year carries weight, and these stands deliver the first proper sightlines of a fresh F1 venue.

Where the race lives
The IFEMA Madrid Street Circuit makes its F1 debut in September 2026, replacing Barcelona on the calendar. The 5.474 km layout runs 57 laps around the IFEMA exhibition centre on the city's northern edge, blending permanent track sections with street segments and topping out near 320 km/h.
Why this race matters
Madrid steps in for Barcelona after two decades of Catalunya hosting the Spanish round, and 2026 is the inaugural year of a 10-year deal. The circuit's mix of permanent and street character is the most ambitious new build since Jeddah. Metro line 8 drops you at IFEMA in 12 minutes from the city centre.
For Indian fans
September weather in Madrid sits around 25 to 28 degrees with low humidity. One-stop flights via Doha, Dubai or Frankfurt are standard. Schengen visa applies, plan 6 to 8 weeks ahead. Pairs naturally with Monza two weeks earlier or a long weekend in Andalusia after the race.

The inaugural Madrid GP runs at the IFEMA Madrid Street Circuit from 11 to 13 September 2026, with practice on Friday, qualifying on Saturday, and the race on Sunday afternoon.
Since this is year one, no stand has a track record yet. We recommend the main IFEMA grandstand for start and finish drama, and the stands around the high-speed permanent section for overtakes. Paddock Club gives you the full circuit on screens with trackside access.
