Spain Sail Grand Prix

Spanish sailing politics, it turns out, are as volatile as the Levante wind. Valencia was supposed to make its SailGP debut in 2026 – a flagship new venue for the Season 4 champions. Then came the devastating floods, the mayor’s resignation, and the event quietly disappeared from the calendar. Whether it returns for Season 6 remains unclear.

The alternative is Cádiz, which has delivered some of the circuit's most memorable weekends: full amphitheatre crowds, big Atlantic swell, and autumn conditions that swing from sublime to chaotic. Four events have seen four different winners. Spain’s home event historically cranks up the pressure, but the Spanish team has a habit of missing finals on their own water, which must sting given their global form.

Wherever this one lands, it’ll mark a crucial late-season staging post before the Grand Final. Expect tension.

Past winners at Cádiz: Australia (Season 2), France (Season 3), USA (Season 4), Great Britain (Season 5)
