For Formula One fans, this news marks a triumphant return of the Spanish Grand Prix to TV3’s airwaves after a decade-long hiatus. From 1997 to 2015, TV3 was the go-to destination for Catalan viewers, broadcasting all 19 seasons of the world championship races.

While other Spanish broadcasters like TVE, Telecinco, La Sexta, and Antena3 secured partial rights over the years, the exclusivity ultimately shifted to pay-per-view platforms like Movistar+ and DAZN.

Now, with the free-to-air broadcasts on TV3, Catalunya Ràdio, and online platforms, motorsport enthusiasts can revel in the excitement without the barrier of subscription fees.

For those unable to witness the action in person at the Circuit de Catalunya, this announcement provides a golden opportunity to immerse themselves in the thrill of the races from the comfort of their homes or preferred viewing destinations.

As the anticipation builds and the days draw closer, Barcelona’s streets buzz with the palpable energy of a city poised to host two of the most captivating spectacles in the world of motorsport.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the exhilarating world of racing, Barcelona promises an unforgettable experience that will leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who bear witness.
