Heading to Valencia for SailGP? A guide to enjoying (and working from)

Valencia is once again the epicentre of world sport. On 5th and 6th September 2026, the city will host the Spain Sail Grand Prix for the very first time, making it one of the fastest and most spectacular sailing competitions on the planet.

If you don’t want to miss out on the event but have professional commitments, here is everything you need to know to plan your stay in Valencia and make the most of the experience without neglecting your productivity.

What is the Spain Sail Grand Prix?

This is no ordinary regatta. SailGP is a global championship where 13 national teams compete in hydrofoiling F50 catamarans. The result? Vessels that “fly” across the water at speeds approaching 100 km/h. It’s technology, adrenaline and strategy wrapped up in a short-format circuit, designed to be experienced intensely right from the shoreline.

Key facts for your planning

• Dates: 5th and 6th September 2026.
• Location: La Marina de Valencia.
• Racing schedule: On-the-water action is scheduled between 1:30 pm and 3:00 pm on both days (subject to change depending on wind conditions).
• The home team: You’ll be able to cheer on Los Gallos, the Spanish team led by Diego Botín and Florián Trittel, the reigning champions of the circuit.

How to experience it while working in Valencia

The great advantage of this format is that the races are concentrated into a specific time slot early in the afternoon. This means you can organise your working day in an optimal environment for the rest of the day before heading down to La Marina to enjoy the spectacle.
