MotoGP Catalan Grand Prix 2027: Montmelo race weekend, trains and ticket guide

Catalan Grand Prix 2027: dates and place in the season

The Catalan Grand Prix is round 9 of the MotoGP 2027 calendar. It runs from Friday 11 June to Sunday 13 June 2027, two weeks after the Italian Grand Prix and two weeks before the Dutch TT.

The date is confirmed on the current calendar, which still awaits final confirmation of the full schedule. Session times for 2027 have not yet been published; the organisers normally release them a few weeks beforehand.

The Montmelo circuit: why MotoGP Montmelo draws big crowds

A multi-purpose Catalan Grand Prix venue with a long history

Montmelo has hosted MotoGP since 1992, and the circuit is a multi-purpose venue used for both F1 and MotoGP. That means it has the facilities of a large, modern track: wide walkways, big screens and good road links.

Catalan Grand Prix atmosphere

The Catalan round is one of the biggest dates of the European summer for Spanish motorcycle fans. Expect a festive crowd, a lot of team colours and plenty of noise from morning to night. Barcelona's proximity makes it a natural choice for visitors who want a city break and a race in one trip.

Where to sit at the Catalan GP 2027

The circuit offers a main grandstand, turn grandstands and general admission areas.

• The main grandstand is the safe choice if you want the start, pit lane and podium in a single view.
• Turn grandstands put you close to braking zones and overtaking attempts, with a greater feeling of speed.
• General admission areas give you freedom to move and compare viewpoints, though you should arrive early on Sunday.

Because the track is large, many fans use the big screens to follow the parts of the race that they cannot see directly. A seat near one of them is a good compromise.

Getting to the Catalan Grand Prix from Barcelona

The circuit lies about 25 km north-east of Barcelona. Trains run to Montmelo station, and the sensible approach is to use the train from Barcelona on race days rather than fighting road traffic. Allow extra time for the walk from the station to your gate.

Camping is available nearby for those who prefer to sleep close to the track. Rules and facilities for 2027 have not been announced. Accommodation in Barcelona and surrounding towns is plentiful, but it is in demand during the Grand Prix weekend, so book early. See our Motorsport travel guides 2027 for general planning help.

Practical tips for the Catalan GP weekend

June can be hot in Catalonia, so bring sun protection, water if allowed and a hat. Choose shaded seats where possible, and plan breaks during the long Sunday programme. Pack light, because bag checks can add time at the entrance.

If you travel by train, check the last services back to Barcelona before the race ends. On Sunday evening the platforms will be crowded, so a short wait is normal.

Finally, keep a printed or digital copy of your tickets and agree a meeting point with friends before the day begins.
