The Tour de France will start in Barcelona for the first time in 2026


The opening two stages will be in Catalonia, with the third stage starting in the Spanish region before crossing into France.

It will be the third occasion Spain has hosted the race's Grand Depart, having previously done so in San Sebastian in 1992 and Bilbao last year.

The 2026 race will start on 4 July and will have the most southerly Grand Depart in Tour history.

"This is a historic milestone. It confirms Barcelona's role as an international sports capital," said the city's mayor Jaume Collboni.
